In an interview with Rolling Stone, DJ Khaled has officially announced that he is teaming up with Nigerian Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy for a track on his forthcoming album. This exciting collaboration comes as DJ Khaled expresses his deep appreciation for Afrobeats and the global influence of Burna Boy in Nigerian mainstream music. Burna Boy, who has seen international success with hits like “YE,” has previously worked with prominent international artists, such as Ed Sheeran, Future, J Balvin, and more.
Burna Boy’s recent album, “I Told Them,” features collaborations with rap icons GZA and RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan, as well as 21 Savage and J. Cole. DJ Khaled hinted at the partnership by sharing videos of himself enjoying Burna Boy’s music and their dinner gatherings on social media.

This eagerly anticipated collaboration will mark DJ Khaled’s first collaboration with a Nigerian artist and is expected to include other big names like Drake in the upcoming album.
