Wizkid and Tyla Tease Explosive Afrobeats-Amapiano Collaboration ‘Dynamite’

On July 17, 2025, a teaser for a highly anticipated collaboration between Nigerian Afrobeats icon Wizkid and South African amapiano star Tyla surfaced on social media, igniting excitement among fans. Titled Dynamite, the snippet showcases a vibrant fusion of Afrobeats and amapiano, with Tyla’s sultry vocals blending seamlessly with Wizkid’s signature melodic flow, hinting at a genre-defining anthem.

The collaboration, recorded in 2022 when Tyla freestyled a melody in Wizkid’s hotel room, marks a significant moment for both artists. Tyla, riding the wave of her global hit Push 2 Start and her 2024 self-titled debut album, continues to elevate her “popiano” style—a blend of amapiano, pop, R&B, and Afrobeats. Wizkid, fresh off his critically acclaimed album Morayo, adds another cross-continental hit to his repertoire, following successful collaborations with artists like Drake and Beyoncé.

Set for release on July 25, 2025, as part of Tyla’s upcoming mixtape WEWANNAPARTY, Dynamite was previewed at a London listening session on July 16, where Tyla shared the story of meeting Wizkid in a Nigerian hotel lobby and pitching music to him. The track’s infectious rhythm and undeniable chemistry have fans predicting it could dominate charts and become a defining summer anthem for 2025. Social media reactions, including posts on X, reflect the fervor, with fans calling the snippet “fire” and a “certified anthem.”

While no further details on the track’s production or additional features have been confirmed, the collaboration underscores the growing synergy between Nigeria’s Afrobeats and South Africa’s amapiano, promising a cultural milestone for African music on the global stage.
