All through 2014, the internet kept buzzing with a whole new awareness and often times, to get the kind of buzz many of them needed for their projects, showbiz stars took swipes at each other through devised publicity stunts.
However, there are some collaborations that will naturally ‘break the internet’ (if they ever happen) because of the built up hype, expectations, individuals involved and stories behind them and the fact that Nigerians want to see these happen.
NET takes you through a quick rundown of 5 collaborations that have the potential to break the internet in our part of the world and shake the music industry to its roots…
Wizkid ft Davido
By default, since the beginning of their careers, they’ve always been compared to each other and in the last few years they’ve had their fair share of beefs and issues. However, till date, they are yet to collaborate together on any song. With the built up tension between them, their story and passion for their craft, a Wizkid-Davido collaboration will surely cause an online Tsunami.
D’banj ft Don Jazzy:
They’ve done it before, people are now hungry for more and without a doubt, the can still do it again. A Don Jazzy and D’banj collabo in 2015 will surely trend for weeks because the hunger for it is almost insatiable. What’s more, D’banj recently said it is possible if the money is right and the mere thought of it makes the mouth water.
9ice, ft Davido and Don Jazzy
Have you ever taken time out to listen to the voices of Mavin boss, Don Jazzy, HKN star, Davido and Alapomeji boss, 9ice? Now you can understand if you visualise it! Putting 3 of them with their voice on the same record will definitely cause a kind of ‘gobe’ on the internet at the moment.
Pasuma ft Kwam1
Believe it or not, the ‘Fuji’ music genre still remains Nigeria’s only ‘original’ genre of music and today K1 and Pasuma Wonder stand tall as it’s leading figures.
Sadly, apart from a few stage performances together in the past, they’ve both never been on a record together. In 2015, imagine a new song with both K1 and Pasuma, it doesn’t matter the number of minutes. And with the seemingly unending reports of a beef between them, we leave you to be the judge of the impact of such a collabo!
Tiwa Savage ft. Seyi Shay
We can’t the deny that these two singers are blessed with angelic voices, talent and an amazing energy on stage. While Tiwa Savage stands tall as Nigeria’s leading queen of pop, Seyi Shay follows closely behind her and has often been compared to Tiwa. These two pop divas are yet to hop on a track together as many believe there is a not-too-healthy rivalry between them. If and when they eventually do collaborate, what a delight it will be for music lovers.
