With the fast rising of Afrobeats, more international stars in the US and Europe are collaborating with Nigerian artists and making Afrobeats-inspired music.
Rick Ross, one of the international artist who has expressed his fascination with Nigerian and African music, who has continued to restate his desire to make an African-themed album.
On their latest interaction on Instagram Live, Rick Ross revealed that his favourite song of the Nigerian rapper Balqbonez is his hit single ‘Bling‘ featuring Amaarae and BNXN.
During the Instagram live session, Blaqbonez explained how the pain of losing the Best Rapper award to Kenya rapper Kaligraph Jones at the Soundcity MVP led to the song.
A month ago, Rick Ross previewed a song with a snippet of Blaqbonez‘s verse playing in the video which suggested a collaboration between both rappers.
The upcoming collaboration was confirmed in their latest Instagram live as Rick Ross continues to make steps towards his African-themed album that will feature different artists across the continent.
Earlier in the year, Rick Ross gave a shout-out to the Nigerian street hop star Portable and rapper Odumodublvck while announcing his desire to make an African album.
The Miami rapper would later join Odumodublvck on an Instagram live session with the award-winning Nigerian rapper who gave him a crash course on Afrobeats.
Rick Ross’ collaborating with Blaqbonez would likely be one of the first tracks from the American rapper’s African album on which he has listed Nigerian Grammy-nominated star Ayra Starr, Ghanaian dancehall star Stonebwoy, and Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platinum among the artists he would love to work with.
Rick Ross’ desire collaboration with Nigerian artists marks a full circle moment for the MMG boss featured by Nigerian iconic duo P–Square in 2011 on the remix of their hit single ‘Beautiful Oyinye’.
