Following the success of ‘Emiliana,’ ‘Love Nwantiti,’ and his international appearances, CKay returns with WATAWI, a new hit single featuring Davido and South Africa’s Amapiano new school cool kids, Focalistic and Abidoza.
CKay’s career streams have reached 3 billion, and he recently sold out his first two US gigs.
WATAWI is another opportunity for CKay to captivate the ears and hearts of his fans around the world, with Love ‘Nwantiti’ breaking multiple records, including being the most streamed song globally on Spotify and Emiliana once receiving over 700 thousand streams in a single day on Spotify.
Davido, a Nigerian Afrobeats heavyweight, and Focalistic, a South African Amapiano lead songwriter and musician, are both multi-platinum artists featured on this new hit produced by Abidoza. Davido tunes in with his smooth flow, while Abidoza adds his Midas touch to the beat.
18 bars of Sipotori rap are spared by Focalistic (a language which blends various languages, popular in the townships of Pretoria).

The song is driven by CKay’s vocals and distinctive layered harmonies, which complement the deep Amapiano production. The song’s lyrics address a recurring theme in modern relationships: WATAWI / what are we? CKay, Davido, and Focalistic tell the story with the smoothest of melodies, letting their respective ladies know that no labels are required for who they are.
“A lot of individuals have been in problematic situations where their “situationship” tries to push things further than they need to be,” CKay says of WATAWI’s story. “Sometimes it’s best to just let things be and vibe without the strain of defining the relationship’s nature.”
