    Afrobeats sensation Asake has revealed the surprising reason why his latest album, “Lungu Boy,” does not feature a collaboration with Nigerian superstar Davido.

    During an Instagram Live Q&A session with fans on Saturday, August 10, 2024, Asake addressed the absence of Davido on the album, clarifying that while they have a song together, it was not included in this release.

    When a fan asked, “Why did you not add Davido? Did you not have a feature?”, Asake responded, “Me and Davido still have a song, but this is time for *Lungu Boy*; there will be time for that one too.”

    Asake’s response indicates that the collaboration with Davido is still in the pipeline and will be released at a later date, fueling anticipation among fans.

    Meanwhile, “Lungu Boy” has been making significant waves in the music industry, and Asake’s explanation regarding the Davido feature has only heightened the excitement surrounding both artists.

    Fans are eagerly looking forward to the eventual release of the joint effort from these two Nigerian music heavyweights.

    In addition, Asake has matched the US Apple Music chart record set by fellow Nigerian superstars Burna Boy and Davido.

    Released on Friday, August 8, 2024, ‘Lungu Boy‘ features an impressive lineup, including Nigerian Afrobeats icon Wizkid, American rapper Travis Scott, Brazilian singer Ludmilla, and British rappers Stormzy and Central Cee.

    The album’s experimental sound is resonating with audiences globally.

    Meanwhile, just hours after its release, ‘Lungu Boy’ soared to #2 on the United States Apple Music album chart. This achievement makes it the third Afrobeats album to reach this position, equaling the highest-charting Nigerian albums on the platform, a record previously held by Davido’s ‘Timeless’ and Burna Boy’s ‘I Told Them,’ both released in 2023.
