In a blazing showcase of pan-African musical prowess, South African sensation Tyla and Nigerian Afrobeats icon Wizkid have ignited the charts with their collaborative single “Dynamite,” debuting at an impressive #2 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart. This marks the highest debuting song of 2025 on the chart, cementing the duo’s global influence and the unstoppable rise of Afrobeats.
Released as part of Tyla’s new EP WWP on August 4, 2025, “Dynamite” fuses Tyla’s melodic Amapiano flair with Wizkid’s signature smooth Afrobeats delivery, creating a sultry, infectious anthem that’s both a dancefloor filler and a lyrical love letter. The track, recorded two years prior but perfected for this moment, showcases their undeniable chemistry, with Tyla’s playful confidence complementing Wizkid’s effortless charm. Lines like “Your body bang like dynamite” have already sparked viral dance challenges across platforms like TikTok.
The accompanying music video, a vibrant desert-set visual, has racked up over 1.3 million views on YouTube, amplifying the song’s cultural impact. Fans have praised the cross-continental collaboration as a symbol of unity between South African and Nigerian artists, with social media buzzing about its “summer banger” status.
This chart triumph adds to Tyla’s post-Grammy glow and Wizkid’s storied legacy, with “Dynamite” also hitting #3 on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart. As Afrobeats continues to dominate global playlists, Tyla and Wizkid’s explosive hit is proof that the genre’s fire shows no signs of fading.
