Grammy-winning Afrobeats icon Wizkid is set to shake the global music scene once again with a blockbuster collaboration featuring none other than Beyoncé on his upcoming album “Morayo Deluxe,” multiple industry sources confirm.
-
The track, reportedly titled “Ojú Olọrun” (Yoruba for “God’s Eyes”), marks the duo’s first musical reunion since their 2019 global hit “Brown Skin Girl” from The Lion King: The Gift album.
-
Insider sources reveal the song blends Wizkid’s signature Afro-fusion rhythms with Beyoncé’s powerhouse vocals, creating what insiders describe as “a spiritual successor to ‘Brown Skin Girl’ but with deeper cultural roots.”
-
Production credits include P2J (Beyoncé’s Renaissance collaborator) and Sarz, hinting at a genre-defying sound.
Despite the leak, neither artist has confirmed the collaboration publicly. Industry analysts suggest this is a deliberate rollout strategy, with:
-
A teaser clip expected to drop on June 20 (coinciding with World Afrobeats Day).
-
The full album release slated for July 4, 2025—a date symbolic for its global independence day resonance.
