After disclosing that she has been collaborating with American rap icon Lil Wayne on new music, Nigerian rising singer Qing Madi has sent fans into a frenzy.

On Sunday, October 26, 2025, during a live session with content creator Shank, the surprising revelation was made. Qing Madi chose to playfully tease her audience throughout the talk, asking Shank and viewers to guess the name of the “global superstar” she recently worked with.

The 18-year-old singer eventually revealed the shocking information, “Lil Wayne!” as speculations flooded the comments. “Lil, f**king Wayne!” she said, shocking both Shank and the audience.

Clips from the live feed rapidly went viral on X and TikTok. Since then, enthusiastic fans from both continents have taken to social media, hailing it as one of the most unexpected and exciting cross-genre partnerships in recent memory.

With her deep vocals and genre-bending sound, Qing Madi—known for breakthrough songs like Ole and Vision—has continued to soar in the Afrobeats arena. A partnership with Lil Wayne, a five-time Grammy winner and one of the most well-known names in hip-hop, would be a significant step forward for Qing Madi’s global career.

Anticipation is already growing even though neither artist has revealed specifics like the song’s title, release date, or project. If confirmed, this collaboration might create an intriguing new connection between Afrobeats and American hip-hop, demonstrating the progress Nigerian musicians have made on the international scene.
