Amapiano queen Uncle Waffles may be cooking up one of the year’s biggest international collaborations — and it involves none other than Nigeria’s global superstar Wizkid.
The Swaziland-born, South Africa-based DJ and producer sparked major excitement online after posting a cryptic tweet:
> “Yanos x Starboy? The world not ready.”
Fans instantly speculated a collaboration was on the way, especially after both artists were spotted together in Lagos last weekend during a private studio session. Sources close to the duo confirmed that they’ve been “experimenting with some sound blends” that merge Amapiano rhythms with Wizkid’s smooth Afrobeats melodies.
Uncle Waffles, known for explosive tracks like “Tanzania” and her viral DJ sets, has been a trailblazer in pushing Amapiano into the global spotlight. Meanwhile, Wizkid has repeatedly expressed love for South African sounds, previously sampling log drums in his 2022 album “More Love, Less Ego.”
If the rumors are true, this will mark their first official collaboration — and a potentially historic moment for the fusion of Southern and West African music on a global scale.
The buzz has already lit up social media, with fans calling it a “cultural reset” and “the crossover we didn’t know we needed.”
While no official release date has been confirmed, industry insiders suggest the track could drop as early as June 2025, just in time for the summer festival season.
