Tyla, Wizkid Spark Speculation Over Potential Music Collaboration After London Linkup

South African pop sensation Tyla and Nigerian Afrobeats icon Wizkid have ignited speculation of a possible musical collaboration following their recent public appearance in London.
The two Grammy-winning stars were seen together in a now-viral video, sharing a warm hug and engaged in lively conversation. Their chemistry and body language have stirred excitement across social media platforms, especially among fans eager for a joint project between the artists.
Fueling the buzz further, Tyla took to her Instagram story shortly after their meetup to share a throwback photo of herself and Wizkid — an image taken three years ago. The timing of the post, which coincided with their latest encounter, has led to mounting whispers of something in the works.

Tyla, widely celebrated for blending amapiano with mainstream pop — a style she calls “popiano” — has previously named Wizkid among her top five musical inspirations. The singer rose to global fame with her smash hit “Water,” which earned her a Grammy and made her the youngest African to win the coveted award.
Wizkid, known for pushing Afrobeats beyond borders, has long been recognized for his strategic and genre-blending collaborations. From Beyoncé to Drake, his ability to fuse African rhythms with global sounds continues to shape the genre’s evolution.
Although neither Tyla nor Wizkid has officially confirmed any joint project, fans are already anticipating what a musical fusion between the two could sound like. Industry watchers believe such a collaboration could mark a significant moment in the ongoing cross-pollination of African music across the continent.
With both stars at the height of their careers and a history of mutual respect, their recent London sighting may be the prelude to one of the most talked-about African music collaborations yet.
