International collaborations matter greatly to most Nigerian artistes and atimes, it's a thing of prestige and pride whenever a collaboration happens between them and a foreign act, it's usually seen as a success. So most times, Nigerians try all their might to nick a collaboration with a popular foreign artiste.
And over the last decade there has been more than 100 collaborations that has occurred between a foreign artiste and a Nigerian act, but which one has actually been exceptional, we take a look at few.
1. Beyonce feat Wizkid, Saint Jhn and Blue Ivy Carter - Brown Skin Girl
"Brown Skin Girl" is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé, Guyanese singer Saint Jhn and Nigerian singer Wizkid, featuring Blue Ivy Carter from the 2019 album The Lion King: The Gift. The song was sent to Top 40/Rhythmic radio on July 23, 2019 as the second single from the soundtrack
2. Davido Ft. Chris Brown – Blow My Mind
Davido has released his highly anticipated single titled “Blow My Mind“, off his upcoming project.
On the massive record “Blow My Mind”, Davido features American superstar, Chris Brown who came through with usual energy on the record which shows their positive nexus.
However, the song was produced by one of Nigeria’s finest record producer, Shizzi.
3. Davido feat Meek Mill - Fans Mi
In 2015, Davido made headlines when over a Shizzi beat, the then in form Meek Mill who was popular for dating Nicki Minaj, hopped on the banging Shizzi beat and this particular song made waves back home.
4. Wizkid feat Drake - Come Closer
When Drake featured WizKid then in 2016 on One Dance, he was abused and insulted by many for his 20 second silent voice appearance, but he showed why he's Africa's greatest when Drake returned the favour in 2017. Smash hit by all standards.
5. Psquare feat Akon and May D – Chop My Money
The year 2012 was a season a lot happened in the music industry. Among those was a Psquare record that went worldwide. On the streets, it was every kids favourite and it's disappointing to see the brothers going separate ways after all they've achieved. Heartbreaking.
6. D'banj feat Don Jazzy and Snoop Dogg – Mr Endowed Remix
D'banj shocked everyone in 2012 when he did the unthinkable. Featuring an international artiste of world class standards, Snoop Dogg on the Mr Endowed remix. As usual, this record was very big and it started the whole Africa to the World movement.
7. Wizkid, Drake, Skepta – Ojuelegba Remix
The Africa to the World movement went silent in 2015. But it got back with Africa's most favourite son(not the frog voice guy), Wizkid surprised us when a remix to the Ojuelegba record landed on the internet. And this time, it was not with Meek Mill, it was with one of the biggest artistes in the World, Drake!
8. Timaya feat Sean Paul – Bum Bum
Timaya is usually one artiste whose genre was not quite popular then in 2013. But his own international flex came in a rush, after hunging out with Rihanna, he nicked a collaboration with international dance hall act, Sean Paul and it amplified his music back home and got him that respect!
9. 2face feat T Pain – Rainbow
2face was not to be left out of the international reign also. While his earlier international singles with Beenie Man and Reggie Rockstone in 2008 didn't do much impact, Rainbow with T Pain satisfied all available metrics and was a major hit song back then.
So guys, which Nigerian-International collaboration will you consider as the biggest of all time?
