Khaid and Ayo Maff have teamed up for a collaboration that feels as raw as it is polished.
Their new single, Rover, blends Afrobeats melody with unfiltered street grit, a combination that doesn’t just sound good, it feels lived in.
From the jump, the production sets the mood: heavy bass thumps, crisp percussion, and synths that slide in and out like neon lights on a Lagos night. It’s a beat that works just as well in a packed club as it does when you’re alone with your headphones, replaying the words that hit a little too close.
Khaid takes his time with the hook, his voice smooth yet unhurried. His delivery is patient, as though he knows the weight a chorus can carry if you don’t rush it. “ROVER” lives in that light. Summer at the edges, but not carefree. The joy here is earned; you can hear the work behind it, the kind that stains. Party on the surface, story in the grain. He doesn’t sing above the rhythm—he stays tucked inside it, letting the beat translate what he’s saying without spelling it all out.

On the flip side, Ayo Maff jumps in like the friend who tells it exactly as it is. His verses cut with blunt honesty, stripping away metaphor to reveal the real math of survival and ambition. “Who said money can’t buy love?” he asks, not as a line meant for Instagram captions but as a parking-lot truth, thrown half-joking, half-daring.
Then he keeps it simple: “If you get the rabba make you buy the GLE… when you get the money you go know your enemies.” No poetry needed—just the way life unfolds when success shows up.
Together, the pair build a track that’s both motivational and entertaining. Rover is about ambition, resilience, and moving forward with confidence even when the world tries to slow you down. It’s Afrobeats with street smarts, a reminder that the genre’s biggest strength lies in its ability to be both global and deeply local at the same time.
Now spinning across all major platforms, Rover isn’t just another entry in Khaid’s growing catalog or Ayo Maff’s rising journey it’s a collaboration that hits from the ground up. Tap in, let it play, and see where the ride takes you.
