Ayra Starr and Rema have dropped their highly anticipated single, “Who’s Dat Girl,” a track that has instantly dominated social media and solidified its position as one of the most significant Afrobeats releases of 2025. For the first time, the Mavin Records labelmates share equal billing, showcasing a powerful and unexpected creative synergy.
A Collision of Supernovas
The excitement leading up to the release was massive, fueled by a memorable joint appearance at the Global Citizen Festival in New York, where their magnetic stage presence went viral. The artists followed up with an audacious announcement, sharing photos of themselves lifting their shirts to reveal airbrushed portraits of each other emblazoned across their tees, setting a bold, intimate tone for the collaboration.
Co-produced by Ragee and The Elements, “Who’s Dat Girl” is a sophisticated sonic feast. It expertly weaves Ayra Starr’s signature sultry confidence through layers of dancehall bounce and R&B silk, all anchored by the irresistible pulse of Afrobeats. The track is sensual without being overstated and playful without losing its sharp edge.
Chemistry and Lyrical War
The collaboration is elevated by the palpable chemistry between the two stars. Ayra and Rema don’t just trade verses; they engage in a lyrical call-and-response that builds tension throughout the song. Rema’s signature swagger meets Ayra’s self-assured allure in a dynamic push-and-pull that is both competitive and complementary.
This release comes at a perfect time, as Rema continues his victory lap following the global success of “FUN,” while Ayra Starr rides the momentum of her latest hit, “Hot Body,” reaffirming her status as one of the genre’s most captivating voices.
As labelmates under Don Jazzy’s legendary Mavin Records, this partnership feels less like a calculated move and more like the inevitable next chapter for two artists operating at the peak of their global power. “Who’s Dat Girl” is a statement: Afrobeats’ new guard is rewriting the rules and architecting the future of African music on their own terms.
