The creative chemistry between Ayra Starr and Wizkid has quietly become one of the most culturally significant alliances in modern Afropop. Their story began with ‘2 Sugar’ from Wizkid’s More Love, Less Ego (2022), a silky duet that topped the TurnTable Top 100 at No. 1.

Their latest collaboration, ‘Gimme Dat,’ has only deepened that narrative. The track earned them a Grammy nod and remains in heavy continental rotation, reinforcing Wizkid’s enduring command of the ecosystem.

Even as new stars flood the scene, his grip hasn’t loosened. Wizkid closed out 2025 as Nigeria’s most-streamed artist on Spotify and Apple Music, with his 2024 album Morayo emerging as the country’s most-streamed album. It’s a quiet flex that proves his oft-quoted mantra: confidence doesn’t need volume.
