The Afrobeats scene is buzzing with excitement as Adekunle Gold and Lojay finally team up on a highly anticipated collaboration.
For fans, this feels long overdue. For the artists, it’s the product of years of admiration and quiet respect that has now blossomed into something powerful.
Lojay couldn’t hide his excitement in a recent interview with NotJust Verses, calling the project “one of my favorite features ever” and boldly describing it as “one of the best collaborations I’ve ever done.” For him, the magic wasn’t just about recording a great song, it was about connecting with someone he’s admired for a while.
This wasn’t a random link-up. Adekunle Gold has been rooting for Lojay long before they hit the studio together. Back in 2023, he tweeted that Lojay was “really special,” urging fans to check out his Gangster Romantic EP. By the following year, that admiration had only grown stronger, with another post where he hyped Lojay up as “a bad modafocka.” These weren’t just casual compliments, they were signs of genuine respect, the kind that makes a collaboration feel inevitable.
And when they finally locked in, the result was pure synergy. According to Lojay, the process was intense but deeply rewarding. “When you hear his music, you know he takes his time,” he said about Adekunle Gold’s perfectionist approach. Together, they dissected every line, rewriting and reworking until the song felt just right. “We’re trying to rewrite the lyrics down to like changing ‘if’ to ‘but’… everything down, every pattern,” Lojay revealed. That level of detail shows just how much care went into making sure this track stands out.
Beyond the music, both artists walked away with more than just a record. Lojay talked about how much he values not only the final product but also the working relationship they’ve built. Fans, too, are sensing that this partnership is special. The snippet already circulating online hints at an upbeat, catchy track with all the makings of a hit, a blend of Adekunle’s polished, soulful style and Lojay’s raw, dynamic energy.
It’s safe to say this is more than just another collaboration. It’s proof of what happens when two artists respect each other’s craft enough to push beyond comfort zones and deliver something truly fresh. Adekunle Gold and Lojay may have taken their time, but the wait seems more than worth it.
