These are the Collaborations between Nigerian and American artists You probably had no idea they existed.

It’s no secret that today’s Afrobeats and African artists are in higher demand than ever. Of course, with such demand comes to a blending of cultures and a partnership across countries.

While some of these collaborations go on to become global successes (for example, Drake ft. Wizkid), others don’t make as much noise but are still great songs in their own right.

So Mp3bullet.ng compiled a list of Collaborations between Nigerian and American ARtists you probably haven’t heard before.

Freak Me- Ciara ft Tekno

Following the worldwide success of her smash single Level Up in 2018, Ciara, whose love for Africa and African inspirations has never been hidden, collaborated on a song called “Freak Me” with Nigerian hitmaker Tekno.

Of course, Nigerians were already pleased when they saw the featured artiste because we love seeing one of our own in the spotlight, but when the song was released, listeners couldn’t help but sense a familiarity in the chorus.

The chorus of Freak Me is the same chorus that Nigerian artist Tiwa Savage wrote and sang in her 2015 single “Before Nko.”

As expected, people were quick to call Ciara out on the similarity in the choruses but Tiwa Savage herself was quick to chime in and clear any doubts about a contention or malice.

Ciara sampled the song and is paying the due compensation and royalties to Tiwa that is lawful. Tiwa speaking about the collaboration said:

I love the fact that she picked that song. It wasn’t one of the most popular songs from the ‘RED’ album. But it was definitely one of my favourites. I love her version; and Tekno. I’m a huge fan of his. He definitely killed it. I think it’s gonna do really well.

Over You- Kat Deluna and Yemi Alade

Kat Deluna, a prominent American singer, songwriter, and dancer best known for her smash singles “Whine Up” and “Run The Show,” released her third studio album, Loading, in 2016.

Yemi Alade had previously released a video of the two girls eating lunch, which served as our first hint to the upcoming collaboration.

When Kat Deluna’s album was finally released in 2016, the collaboration was featured on Track 6 of the Japan Deluxe Version of the album.

But the surprise wasn’t over it seems because when Yemi Alade dropped her own album Black Magic the next year, 2017, on the Deluxe Version of her album, Track 17 was a song titled “Right Now” featuring none other than Kat Deluna herself.

Finders Keepers remix- Mabel, Burna Boy, and Kojo Funds.

Mabel has been having a great run in her profession. Don’t Call Me Up, God Is A Dancer, Mad Love, and her 2017 smash Finders Keepers are just a few of her hit songs.

Many people are unaware that, at the height of “Finders Keepers” popularity, Mabel uploaded an official remix to her YouTube channel, which included a new verse and contributions from none other than the African Giant himself, Burna Boy.

His verse, as well as the tone of his voice, take the music to a new level, making an already fantastic song even better.

It’s a collaboration that you should certainly check out if you haven’t already.

My Type remix- Saweetie, French Montana, Wale, and Tiwa Savage.

Saweetie’s “My Type“, was one of the biggest songs in 2019 and deservedly so. That chorus gets stuck in your head.

But what many might not know is that following the song’s success, Saweetie invited three artists to jump on an official remix which she posted to her official Youtube page.

These artists were French Montana, Nigerian boy Wale, and Nigeria’s own Tiwa Savage.

Their contributions, especially in my opinion Wale’s verse, to the song really makes it slap that much harder.

It’s an already good song but the addition of Wale and Tiwa especially really turned it up a notch.

It’s definitely one worth checking out if you haven’t heard it already.

Checklist- Normani and Wizkid

Normani Kordei, a former member of the popular girl group Fifth Harmony, released a two-song EP in late 2018.

Both tracks were produced by British DJ Calvin Harris, but the project’s first single, Checklist, includes none other than Nigeria’s own Wizkid.

It’s a fantastic tune. Many individuals have lent covers and remixes to it because it is so hot.

Nigerian Artists have gone from selling out venues in Nigeria to headline events at The London O2 Arena which is a well-known iconic venue primarily used for music, concerts, or live performances.

One of the goals that every musician aspires to attain is to headline a show; it is a testament to the artist’s passion for the trade and persistence.

The O2 Arena is one of a hierarchy of elite venues that has upheld the mantle of offering musicians a global platform to be appreciated.

The famed O2 stage, which has a capacity of 20,000 people, has hosted concerts by Prince, Celine Dion, and The Spice Girls, as well as a few notable Nigerians.

• RELATED:  Nigerian artists who have sold out international concert locations 

The following is a list of Nigerian musicians who have headlined concerts at the O2 arena:

Wizkid

Wizkid, who sold out the o2 Arena for the first time on the 26th of May 2018, was the first Nigerian to headline the venue. Maleek Berry, Yxng Bane, Kojo Funds, Mr. Eazi, Giggs, Tekno, Not3s, and Tiwa Savage were among the artists who performed at the AfroRepublik concert.

In 2021, he performed a sold-out event at the O2 stadium for his Made in Lagos tour. Because the initial night sold out in under eight minutes, more dates were needed to accommodate fans who were disappointed that they couldn’t purchase a ticket.

Rema, Chris Brown, Skepta, Burna Boy, and others performed during the performance.

Davido

Just Like Wizkid, Davido has had a ‘Sold Out’ show twice. The first show was in 2018 while his second show was on March 5, 2022.

At his first show, Davido was introduced on stage by Idris Elba who was at the show with fellow UK big names Naomi Campbell and Tim Westwood. Other performances of the night came from; Mayorkun, Peruzzi, Dremo, Idowest, Yonda, Zlatan and Victor AD.

For his second show, the official Twitter page of the O2 arena confirmed on Friday, the 3rd of March, 2022, via a tweet that the singer recorded a sold-out show.

Davido had the likes of Patoranking, Popcaan, Skiibii, Ckay, Adekunle Gold, Teni, Pheelz, DJ Ecool, Victony, Focalistic, Mayorkun, and many more perform at his 2022 show.

Burna Boy

Another artist to headline the London O2 arena is Grammy award winner, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, fondly known as Burna boy.

Following his sold-out famed Brixton Academy in 2019, Burna Boy hit the O2 arena for his next global performance.

The Afrofusion singer held his first-ever headline show on August 27th, 2021, only days after winning a Grammy for Best International Artist.

His Twice As Tall performance was part of The Welcome Back Show series, which honours society’s return to normalcy following the pandemic.

This post appeared first on Mp3bullet.ng... Read Original post on Nigerian Artistes Who Have headlined a show at London O2 Arena.

Wizkid debuted in the music industry during a period when only adults, especially in Nigeria, were allowed to become popular music artists.

That means you had to be at least in your mid-twenties and free of parental influence to make any significant progress as an artist.

Then, For obvious reasons, aspiring to be a musician was not a career choice that most Nigerian parents would encourage or foster in their children.

Legends like Fela Kuti, 2Baba, D’Banj, P-square, and Banky W, whom we have come to admire and love, only began to achieve meaningful success as musicians as grownups.

Wizkid’s entry into the industry in 2010 altered the entire plot and set a new trajectory for future generations.

Wizkid began gaining young admirers with his silky “Holla At Ya Boy,” which would later blossom into the unstoppable Wizkid FC.

The Journey

According to his records, Wizkid has over ten years of experience as a professional musician. Wizkid, then 19 years old, signed his first professional recording contract with Empire Mates Entertainment in 2009. (EME).

Prior to EME, he worked with late music producer OJB Jezreel and appeared on M.I Abaga’s ‘Fast Money, Fast Cars.’

There are various glass barriers that Wizkid has smashed so that the next generation of musicians won’t have to struggle with them.

There are young music artists that are making waves in the music scene as adolescents these days; remember, Wizkid was the first. He was Nigeria’s first teenage music sensation to sign a professional recording contract.

• RELATED: Top 5 Major Foreign Artists Wizkid has featured in his songs.

It is now possible for parents to support their young Nigerian child who wants to be a musician. One doesn’t need to be above 25 to make it in the music industry these days.

There are a lot of young artists who are making it big without being stifled by ageism.

He is one of the few artists who has successfully battled their record company with no negative consequences to his career. He went up against Banky W’s EME and triumphed after forcing the label to negotiate.

Few people have managed to win a legal battle with their old record label without jeopardizing their careers. In fact, under his music label, Starboy Entertainment, he only grew bigger.

Impact

Ruger in an Interview with media personality, Adesope recounts how Wizkid made him realize that young adults could become stars in the Nigerian Music Industry.

The “Bounce” crooner stated that Wizkid’s rise to fame made it easier for teenagers to make it in the music industry.

According to him, Big Wiz changed the narrative about how only older people should make it big in the industry.

Ruger’s assertion rings true as currently, most Labels in the Nigerian music scene target the juvenile demographics when looking for new talents.

Talents like Fireboy DML, Joeboy, Rema, Tems among others all found fame before they clocked 25 years. Rema especially was 19 when he scored his first big hit, “Dumebi” and was already dominating the International music scene.

With Wizkid at the forefront of the Afrobeat movement which is gaining momentum across the globe, the shine has also indirectly begun to fall on other talented young acts.

For example, after Wizkid’s “Essence” became a global anthem, the song’s co-signee, Tems also found herself becoming an international music sensation resulting in a feature on Drake’s “Certified Lover Boy” album, debuting on Billboard Hot 100, becoming Nigerian most streamed female artist on Spotify and amassing a large number of streams on several DSPs.

The success didn’t end there as Ckay, another rising young star saw his 2019 song, “Love Nwantiti” take off in 2021 and become the second Nigerian Song to debut on Billboard Hot 100.

CKay currently holds the spot for the top Nigerian artist with the highest monthly listeners on Spotify. “Love Nwantiti” has also acquired a large number of streams on streaming platforms.

Spotlight at the O2

Wizkid recently became the first African artist to sell out the O2 thrice; the first time he did this was in 2018.

The previous year, Wizkid sold out the Royal Albert Hall in London and at the end of the show, the singer had promised that his aim for the coming year was to sell out the iconic O2 Arena.

True to his words, barely seven months after, he announced his concert and it was sold out days before the event. There were 20,000 people at the concert.

The show was blessed with performances from the likes of Maleek Berry, Yxng Bane who brought Kojo Funds on stage, Mr Eazi who performed his single, ‘London Town‘ alongside UK rapper, Giggs, Tekno, Not3s, Tiwa Savage.

For most of the artists who performed at the event, this was their first time at the prestigious concert location. However, Wizkid’s conquest of the O2 arena was a blessing for them.

In 2019, when Big Wiz hosted another show at the O2, he gave artists like Runtown, Naira Marley, Olamide, Fireboy DML, Terri, Reekado Banks and the budding Oxlade among others to perform at the event.

This also meant was that there was a lack of star power present back in Lagos, Nigeria.

While Wizkid’s show is undoubtedly a triumph in and of itself, it is bolstered by the affection that exists between him and the various musicians who perform.

• RELATED: #WizkidAt31: How Wizkid has Influenced the Afrobeats Movement

Rather than cultivating a split with his industry peers, he does the exact opposite, sharing his stage with a diverse range of established and emerging artists.

The above fact has even continued into his third O2 headline concert in 2021. Unlike the previous years, by reason of his global fame, he sold out three days, making him the African artist to achieve such a feat.

For his 2021 concert, Big Wiz has given young fast-rising artists like Buju, Bella Shmurda, Lojay, Tems, Blaqbonez the opportunity to make their debut one of the world’s biggest stages.

This constant behaviour shows Wizkid as a man who broke the glass ceilings of the industry as a teenager and is constantly making it easy for other young acts to do.

Wizkid not only delivers successful songs on his own, but his features are incredible. He is at the top of the list of the best artists to feature on a song.

The 31-year-old vocalist is not just skilled but also knows how to bring a song to life maybe this is why He’s referred to as the “god of Afrobeat” by some.

• RELATED: Songs that prove Wizkid is a versatile artist
• RELATED: 5 Collaborations that Wizkid made into hits

So Mp3bullet.ng have compiled a list of 10 memorable times Wizkid delivered on his features.

Malo- Tiwa Savage

While Tiwa Savage and Wizkid have worked on a lot of features, “Malo” would always be remembered for being their best collaboration.

The Spellz-produced record currently has more than 50 million views on Youtube proving why it’s one of Nigeria best Afropop songs to date.

Wizkid and Tiwa Savage sell great chemistry with their verses and catchy hooks. Wiz in particular deliver a beautiful verse and hook on the song.

Tonight- R2bees

All the times R2bees have collaborated with Wizkid, it has always been hits and their 2016 collaboration, “Tonight“, is no exception.

On “Tonight‘ Wizkid sings about how he is head over heels over his girl seductive whining all he wants to do now is have sex with her

Wizkid who handles both a verse and chorus delivers perfectly.

Bella- MHD

“Bella” is Wizkid’s best collaboration with a non-English speaking artist. The song is beautiful in every form from the beat to the lyrics.

Energy- Skepta

When you count Wizkid’s best International, “Energy” is top 2. Wizkid and Skepta would have you believe in music brotherhood.

While Skepta delivers beautiful rap verses but Wizkid totally sells the song with his iconic hook and chorus.

Manya-Mut4y

MUT4Y is one half of the music duo, Legendarybeatz who are the brains behind some of Wizkid’s hits. In 2017 he tapped his boss, Wizkid for the smash hit, “Manya.”

On this song, Wizkid interpolates lyrics from Ghanaian Hiplife music group, VVIP’s popular tune, “Ahomka Womu.” This brilliant sample made “Manya” a street anthem even going to dominate records at the time of its release.

Low- Larry Gaaga

The best song from Larry Gaaga’s discography, Wizkid couldn’t have been more perfect for this slow summer jam. Every word he spits on the mid-tempo beat is memorable and catchy which made it a hit at the time of the release and to date.

Lagos to Kampala- Runtown

In 2015, Runtown released his debut album, “Ghetto University” and Wizkid was featured on two of the tracks. Both songs were a hit but for the list Mp3bullet.ng would be going with “Lagos to Kampala.”

The song is memorable for the iconic Wizkid line, ‘Even Solo tell me say I no blow” that still has fans asking who the Solo is.

The Matter- Maleek Berry

Admit it, you believe this is Wizkid’s song, right? If you think so, you are not to be blamed as Wizkid perfectly carries this song on his head.

On the Maleek Berry beat, Wizkid proves he can be lyrically sauve unlike what his critics would like to do. And there is that of the wordplay and braggadocios Big Wiz does on the song.

Roll Up- Emtee, AKA

Wizkid might be an Afrobeat King but when he needs to diversify, he shows he is capable of doing so perfectly. On “Roll Up“, Wizkid takes up the challenge of spitting bars on a trap-inspired beat.

Despite having two South Afican Rappers on the track, Wizkid was the highlight of this song.
