In a recent interactive session with fans on Instagram, Nigerian artist Asake shared an intriguing backstory about how Wizkid came to be featured on his song ‘MMS’.

Contrary to what many might have assumed, Wizkid initiated the collaboration. Asake recounted that the song’s producer, P. Prime, played ‘MMS’ for Wizkid, who immediately expressed interest in being part of the track.

“I didn’t know I was going to put Wizkid on that song, to be honest,” Asake admitted. “I had someone else in mind for that song, but I think P. Prime played the song to Wiz, and Wiz said, ‘I f*ck with this song, I want to jump on it.'”

This unexpected opportunity to collaborate with Wizkid was a pleasant surprise for Asake. He had not originally planned to feature the star on ‘MMS’, but the chance to work with one of Nigeria’s biggest music icons was too good to pass up.

This story highlights the organic nature of some of the best musical collaborations. It also underscores the importance of being open to new possibilities and the unexpected paths that creativity can take.

In a related story, this isn’t the first time Wizkid has supported fellow artists. He has a history of reaching out and collaborating with emerging talents, helping to elevate their careers.
