Ayra Starr and Rema spark global buzz with Who’s Dat Girl, a bold Afrobeats collaboration.
When two Afrobeats powerhouses collide, sparks are bound to fly — and Who’s Dat Girl is the explosion fans didn’t know they needed. Mavin Records’ brightest stars, Ayra Starr and Rema, join forces on this irresistible new single, blending the sultry with the swagger in a track that’s already setting the internet ablaze.
The release of Who’s Dat Girl marks a landmark moment in Afrobeats — not just for its high-profile collaboration, but for what it represents: a fearless new era of cross-gender, cross-style creativity from two artists defining the sound of their generation.
The anticipation began months before the song dropped. A viral clip from New York’s Global Citizen Festival showed Ayra and Rema performing together, their chemistry so palpable it left fans buzzing with speculation.
Social media exploded again when both artists posted matching images — each wearing airbrushed T-shirts of the other — with the caption: “Who’s Dat Girl? Coming soon.” The playful energy and subtle intimacy set the tone for what would become one of 2025’s most talked-about releases.
Under the guidance of Don Jazzy, Mavin Records has long championed artistic collaboration, but Who’s Dat Girl feels especially organic. Rather than a label experiment, it’s a creative dialogue between two stars who’ve grown together under the same musical umbrella — both pushing boundaries, both unafraid to take risks.
The track is co-produced by Ragee and The Elements, two names synonymous with innovation in contemporary Afrobeats. Together, they deliver a lush yet daring soundscape: a blend of dancehall bounce, R&B fluidity, and Afropop rhythm.
Ayra Starr brings her signature sensuality — confident, commanding, and melodically sharp — while Rema counters with his trademark mix of smooth vocals and gritty charisma. Their verses intertwine, challenge, and complement each other in a way that feels both competitive and collaborative.
The chorus, simple yet hypnotic, drives the track’s replay value, while the layered instrumentation keeps listeners hooked from start to finish. It’s not just a duet — it’s a musical conversation set to rhythm and pulse.
At its core, Who’s Dat Girl is about attraction, power, and playful mystery. Ayra Starr’s vocals drip with confidence as she embodies the song’s title character — enigmatic yet magnetic. Rema, meanwhile, plays the intrigued observer, balancing her energy with curiosity and flirtation.
This duality — the meeting of feminine allure and masculine bravado — gives Who’s Dat Girl its dynamic edge. The song celebrates equality in expression; both voices carry equal weight, both perspectives are heard.
In an industry often defined by competition, Ayra and Rema remind the world that collaboration can be both bold and balanced.
Ayra Starr and Rema: From Labelmates to Legends in the Making
Since breaking onto the scene under Mavin Records, both artists have carved their own paths.
Ayra Starr, the “Sabi Girl” herself, has become a global symbol of Afrobeats femininity — her hits Rush and Commas topping charts and earning Grammy attention.
Rema, the genre’s genre-bending prodigy, continues to expand Afrobeats’ global footprint with tracks like Calm Down and FUN.
Their shared background — young, fearless, and visionary — makes Who’s Dat Girl feel like destiny fulfilled. Under Don Jazzy’s mentorship, they’ve become ambassadors of a new Afrobeats generation: globally fluent yet deeply rooted in Nigerian sound.
Fans praised the song’s “effortless chemistry” and “undeniable replay value.” Music critics were quick to note the artistic evolution both artists demonstrated — moving beyond pop formulas to craft something mature yet youthful.
Who’s Dat Girl isn’t just another hit — it’s a cultural export. Nigerian music has steadily moved from regional dominance to global influence, and this track cements that transition.
By merging Afrobeats, R&B, and Caribbean influences, Ayra Starr and Rema are showing that African pop isn’t confined to geography — it’s shaping global soundscapes.
Much like Burna Boy’s Last Last or Wizkid’s Essence, this record is positioned to cross borders effortlessly. The fusion of languages, sounds, and energy makes it instantly accessible to both Western and African audiences.
With Who’s Dat Girl, Ayra Starr and Rema aren’t just making music — they’re shaping a movement. The song reinforces Afrobeats’ dominance in global pop, its ability to adapt, absorb, and innovate.
It’s also a reminder that the next chapter of African music is collaborative. Artists are no longer competing for attention but merging their energies to create timeless records.
Who’s Dat Girl isn’t just a record; it’s a statement — one that redefines what collaboration means in African music today.
Ayra Starr and Rema have proven once again that when creativity meets confidence, boundaries disappear. This track is both an anthem and an announcement: the new leaders of Afrobeats aren’t coming — they’re already here.
