Nigerian music icons Olamide and Wizkid have linked up once again for a long-anticipated collaboration titled “Kai!” — a vibrant Afrobeats tune that captures the unique essence of both superstars.
This marks their fourth collaboration, following Omo To Shan (2011), Kana (2018), and Totori (2019), and serves as Olamide’s lead single from his forthcoming album.
“Kai!” is a dance-ready, feel-good record that thrives on a pulsating beat and a luxurious blend of styles. Olamide delivers gritty, Yoruba-laced verses that ooze his usual street charisma, calling himself “Mr Romantic” as he expresses affection for a love interest.
Wizkid follows with a smooth, melodic verse that has fans raving on social media, many hailing his delivery as “goated.” Their chemistry is undeniable — street meets suave in a track that feels rooted in Nigeria and ready for the global stage.
While some long-time fans feel Kai! doesn’t surpass the cultural impact of Kana or Totori, many agree it’s a strong addition to both artists’ discographies.
It continues Olamide’s legacy as a street-hop pioneer. It showcases Wizkid’s growth into a world-class Afrobeats figure, fresh from his Grammy-nominated feature on Asake’s MMS and 2024 album Morayo.
As Olamide prepares to roll out his next body of work, Kai! serves as a statement: the old guard isn’t going anywhere—they’re just getting sharper.
