Mama Africa, Yemi Alade seems to have a lot in store for fans this year as she recently teased new music with Jamaican music star, Kranium.

Alade took to Twitter on the 10th of March to share a picture of her and Kranium sitting in what looks to be a bar.

From the photo it’s obvious, she was talking while the Jamaican star was listening to her.

While the “Shekere” crooner is yet to announce the date of the song, this would be her second single for the year after she dropped “Tell Somebody” featuring Yaba Buluku boys in January.

This is also not the first time Kranium would be collaborating with a Nigerian Artist. He featured Wizkid on his hit song, “Can’t Believe” in 2017 which also featured American Rapper, Ty Dolla.

In 2018, Phyno featured him on “One Chance“. Then he featured Tiwa Savage on the remix of “Gal Policy” in 2020 while DJ SPinall featured him on ‘Everytime” off his album, “Grace” that same year.

Yemi Alade has always been strategic about her International collaborations and it is certain that this would be another victory added to her long list of achievements.

Mp3bullet.ng unveils a list of top Nigerian artistes and their international counterparts with more than one collaboration.

Davido & Chris Brown

For this beautiful combo of Afrobeats and R&B, they have dispensed three mega hits.

From Blow Your Mind which appeared on Davido’s A Good Time album to Lower Body, and finally serving us Shopping Spree.

Of course, we are certain more collaborations are around the corner from the duo.

Skepta & Wizkid

This is another great combo the world has practically witnessed great music from.

Although, Skepta has a Nigerian origin, however, he is originally a UK citizen and rapper.

The respect and love Skepta has for Wizkid cannot be overlooked. In fact, in one of his interviews, Skepta said he preferred working with Wizkid than Drake, stating;

“Being on a Wiz record is more important to me than asking Drake to jump on a song of mine.”

Their hit combo, Bad Energy was released in 2018 and that plunged Skepta into the Nigerian market. However, he featured on Wizkid’s Ojuelegba remix which makes it the first time their duo would perform.

Inclusively, he appeared on Wizkid’s mega project, “Made In Lagos” for the track, “Longtime.”

Drake & Wizkid

Like Skepta, the Canadian rapper Drake is also fond of Wizkid. Also, their collaboration started when Drake appeared on the singer’s Ojuelegba remix.

Then, they furthered their relationship with Come Closer a year later and sealed it with One Dance.

So, together they have graced their fans with three awesome songs, and we hope for more from the duo.

Burna Boy & Stormzy

British rapper, Stormzy and Burna Boy also have a great relationship, as the duo have dished out two songs.

The first, Own It was unveiled in 2019, then the second one, Real Life was released on Burna Boy‘s Grammy-winning project, “Twice As Tall.”

Akon & Wizkid

For the legendary Akon, he featured Wizkid on his 2020 hit single, Escape, while Wizkid had him on For You the previous year.

Also, Wizkid had him on his “Roll It” remix.

Mr Eazi & Major Lazer

The popular Jamaican-American DJ trio and Mr Eazi also have a history of producing more than one song.

It started with Mr Eazi’s Leg Over Remix, which he also had French Montana and TY Dolla on, then it proceeded to Let Me Live which was for Rudimental and Major Lazer.

The same year for Let Me Live was also the year for Major’s Tied Up, that had Eazi on.

Lastly, Eazi took the trio on a spin last year with his tune, “Oh My Gawd” featuring Nicki Minaj and K4mo.

Davido & Popcaan

This amazing combo also witnessed more than one song, as three tunes have been made from their collaborative effort.

My Story commenced their body of work in 2017, then “Dun Rich” in 2019, before giving us a super hit “Risky” in 2020.

Patoranking & Bera

These beautiful duo have engaged in three songs which are; Fire To The Sun, Wilmer, and Heal D World.

Davido & Young Thug
