Tyla on How Dynamite with Wizkid Came to Life: “I Didn’t Expect Him to Be Down for a Session
South African pop sensation Tyla is finally opening up about her highly anticipated collaboration with Nigerian superstar Wizkid on their new track Dynamite. The vibrant Afro-fusion record, which dropped to massive acclaim, has fans across the globe buzzing — and now we’re getting a glimpse into how it all started.
In her own words, Tyla shared:
“I made Dynamite in 2022. It was very exciting cause at the time, I was very new, I didn’t expect him to be down for a session.”
At the time, Tyla was just beginning to carve out her place in the global music scene, still riding the early waves of her breakout. For a newcomer, landing a studio session with an international icon like Wizkid was far from guaranteed. But the Made in Lagos singer saw the spark in Tyla early on, and the studio chemistry was instant.
“At the time, I was very new… I didn’t expect him to be down for a session.”

Their collaboration brings together the best of both worlds: Tyla’s sultry, melodic energy and Wizkid’s effortless charm and rhythm. Dynamite fuses Amapiano textures with Afrobeats warmth, creating a cross-continental anthem that feels organic, vibrant, and futuristic all at once.
With this release, Tyla continues to solidify her position as one of Africa’s most promising young stars — and this team-up with Wizkid is proof that she’s only just getting started.
