Afrobeats star Wizkid has ignited widespread speculation by deleting all posts from his Instagram account, a tactic often used by artists to signal a new musical era. The move coincides with American rapper Gunna teasing a collaboration titled “Forever” on social media, featuring behind-the-scenes studio footage of the two artists vibing together. The snippet, shared on August 5, 2025, showcases Wizkid’s smooth vocals over Gunna’s melodic trap beat, generating significant buzz among fans.
The track “Forever” is confirmed to be part of Gunna’s upcoming album The Last Wun, set for release on August 8, 2025, which will feature 25 tracks and mark his final project with YSL Records. Posts on X, including from @itzbasito and @yobrxxzy, highlight the excitement, with fans praising Wizkid’s seamless entry and the song’s club-ready vibe. While no specific release date for “Forever” as a single was confirmed, the timing of Wizkid’s Instagram wipe and Gunna’s teaser strongly suggests it’s part of a broader rollout, potentially tied to Wizkid’s anticipated “Starboy Summer” hinted at by DJ Tunez in July 2025.
Wizkid, known for global hits like “Essence” and collaborations with artists like Drake and Tems, continues to drive Afrobeats’ international rise. The “Forever” collaboration with Gunna, blending Afrobeats and trap, is poised to be a genre-crossing hit, with fans eagerly awaiting its release and further announcements about Wizkid’s next project.
