The 2018 Nigerian music industry promises to
be exciting and filled with entertainment as the
year 2017 ended on a high note wherein a
sizeable number of well organized , crowd
pulling and unforgettable musical concerts were
held and a lot of reconciliation occurred with
the likes of Mo’ Hits coming back together to
perform at Davido ’ s 30 billion concert and
Davido and Wizkid bringing each other out at
their individual concerts .

As the year begins in full force, we take a look
at some of the most anticipated musical
collaborations we hope to see in the year
2018.





Tekno and Drake
Tekno aka Slimdaddy in late 2017 posted a
picture with Drake. Drake also posted a picture
of Tekno working in his studio and another
picture of him discussing with Tekno in which
he captioned “ Tekk Time ” . From all
indications , Tekno who is currently signed to
Columbia Records might be cooking another
chart topping single with OVO himself and
judging with the response towards Drake
previous works with Nigerian afrobeats star,
Wizkid on One Dance and Come Closer, we are
sure the Tekno and Drake collaboration will be
FIRE .






Wizkid and Davido
After a series of twitter beefs and disses
between the two stars during the course of
2017, the two superstars finally decided to
bury the hatchet when Wizkid brought Davido
out on stage as a guest act at his concert in
Lagos. Davido reciprocated by bringing Wizkid
out at his own 30 billion concert days later and
music lovers and critics were finally assured all
is well between the two when they exchanged
pleasantries at the One Lagos Music fiesta . As
the two forerunners of the Nigerian music
scene have settled any form of
misunderstanding between them , Nigerians are
eagerly anticipating the two stars to show their
musical prowess on a track together and give
us the much awaited collaboration Davido
promised us after winning the MTV MAMA
African artiste of the year award in 2014 .





Mo ’ Hits
One of the biggest highlights of the 2017
entertainment scene in Nigeria was the
performance of the entire Mo ’ Hits crew for the
first time since their split in 2011 . D ’Banj went
ahead to post a picture of himself and Don
Jazzy on his Instagram , same with Wande Coal
posting a video of their performance and then
Don Jazzy tagging Wande Coal and D ’ Banj in a
tweet response to Wizkid ’ s question of how the
song – booty call was made. All seems well
between the former label mates and with
rumours gaining round, it appears we should be
expecting a fire track in 2018 from the crew
that gave us hits like Pere, Close To You and
Booty Call.




Kiss Daniel and Others
While under the management of G - Worldwide
Records, talented act and Woju crooner, Kiss
Daniel was restricted from collaborating with
other artistes in the music industry except his
label mate, Sugarboy and despite this clause ,
he has been able to drop so many hit tracks
singlehandedly . However in late 2017 , Kiss
Daniel pulled out of G - Worldwide and created
his own record label called Fly Boy Inc . The
creation of the label gave Kiss Daniel a new
level of creative control and restored his ability
to collaborate on fire tracks with other dope
acts in the music industry. With a track with
Wizkid already in the picture , we cannot wait to
see how Kiss Daniel fares in his collaborative
efforts in the industry.



Yemi Alade and Tiwa Savage
The two queens of the Nigerian Music industry
have been doing the country proud in Africa
and beyond. The two female acts were
nominated for the best female acts in almost
all major awards held in the continent in 2017 .
While the two artistes have repeatedly stated
that they do not have an ill feeling towards
each other, fans are anticipating a collaboration
between the two vocal power house and
leading African female stars in 2018.
