Anticipation Peaks Wizkid x Shallipopi: December Anthem Loading as ‘Like That’ Gets Release Date
In what feels like the perfect early Christmas gift for Afrobeats lovers, Wizkid has officially laid down his final vocals for his much-buzzed-about collaboration with rising street sensation Shallipopi.
The record, titled “Like That,” is set to release on Friday, December 5, 2025, and the excitement in the air is already unmistakable.
The confirmation didn’t come quietly. DJ Tunez, who helped orchestrate the collaboration between the two stars, took to X (formerly Twitter) with a celebratory post.
In typical Tunez fashion, he teased the completion of the track with a playful nod to Wizkid, calling him “Santa Wizzy” as he announced that everything was now locked in.

For months, fans have been imagining what a fusion of Shallipopi’s playful, street-rooted bounce and Wizkid’s effortless global polish would sound like. Now, with the release date etched in stone, the anticipation is only getting louder.
Dropping just as December enters full festive mode, Like That is already being tipped as a contender for one of the season’s biggest records, the kind of song that finds its way into parties, night drives, and holiday playlists without even trying.
If the early hype is anything to go by, Wizkid and Shallipopi are about to deliver a December anthem entrenched in both vibe and star power.
