Ayo Maff and Zinoleesky join forces on “Malaria,” a lively street-pop collaboration that turns the unpredictable feeling of falling in love into a playful comparison with the familiar illness.
On the track, the two artists tell the story of catching feelings despite trying to maintain a tough exterior. Using the catchy phrase “love na malaria” as its central metaphor, the song captures how love can strike unexpectedly and become difficult to escape.
Beyond its playful concept, “Malaria” touches on attraction, vulnerability, commitment, and the drama that often comes with relationships, giving the record a relatable take on the highs and complications of falling for someone.
Ayo Maff & Zinoleesky – Malaria Lyrics
Ma be ru ma foya
Ma be ru ma foya
I’m in love what will I tell to my friends
