Nigerian hip-hop legend Olamide has expressed interest in a joint project with talented music artist CKay, sparking excitement among fans and music enthusiasts alike.
Following the success of their recent single ‘Wahala’, a fan took to social media to suggest a collaborative project between the two artists, and Olamide responded with enthusiasm, saying “whenever you’re ready broksi,” indicating his willingness to partner with CKay on a joint project.
CKay’s recent single ‘Wahala’, released on April 19, 2024, has garnered over 4 million streams on Spotify and features Olamide’s signature rap style, blending seamlessly with CKay’s emotive vocals and Afrobeats-infused sound. This marks their second collaboration, following ‘Trumpet’ from Olamide’s 2023 album ‘Unruly’, which showcased their chemistry and ability to create hits.

This potential project could also signal Olamide’s return to music, as he previously hinted at a hiatus after his last album, which he mentioned might be his final one. Fans are eager to see what he has in store next, and a collaborative project with CKay could be the perfect way to make a comeback.
The Nigerian music scene is experiencing a surge in collaborative projects, with recent examples including Ruger & BNXN’s joint project and Vibez INC’s compilation album. This trend is pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation in the industry, and a joint project from CKay and Olamide would be a welcome addition, given their successful working relationship and the excitement from fans for more music from the duo.
CKay’s unique sound, which blends emo-pop and Afrobeats, has resonated with fans globally, and his collaboration with Olamide on ‘Wahala’ has further cemented his position as a rising star in the Nigerian music scene. Olamide, on the other hand, is a seasoned artist with a decade-long career, and his experience and expertise would complement CKay’s fresh perspective and energy perfectly.
As fans eagerly await news about this potential project, one thing is clear – a collaborative album from Olamide and CKay would be a game-changer for Nigerian music, and we can’t wait to see what these two talented artists have in store for us.
