Wizkid And Burna Boy Reunite In The Flirtatious ‘Ginger’ Video

The two Nigerian superstars reunite for the first time since 2013 on the ‘Made In Lagos’ standout. …

Nigerian pop stars Wizkid and Burna Boy’s last official collaboration was in 2013 on Burna Boy’s L.I.F.E album cut “Jahs Love Is True.” Since then, though, both have become international superstars, been nominated for Grammys, and released well-received albums here in the US, propagating their Afro-fusion style beyond their home country. Now, they’ve reunited on Wizkid’s new album, Made In Lagos, and today, they released the video for their collab, “Ginger.”

The video is relatively straightforward, featuring the two artists performing in a massive studio as models dance and pose in front of the camera. They also share a game of Oware — otherwise known as mancala — atop a classic automobile.

Both stars have seen their profiles rise in the US over the past few years, largely as a result of their collaborations with stars here who’ve been tapped into their sound. Wizkid worked with Drake on “One Dance” in 2016, with Wale on his Shine album in 2017, and with GoldLink on Diaspora in 2019. Meanwhile, Burna’s path was less conventional; a coincidental song title mixup in 2018 led to an explosion of popularity, giving him a platform from which to launch his albums African Giant and Twice As Tall.

Watch the “Ginger” video above.

Burna Boy is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Meanwhile, the lyrics acknowledging those who hate while others continue grooving reinforce the song’s uplifting confidence. The line encouraging the front row to sit back and watch the movie further paints the picture of an artist focused on the bigger vision instead of unnecessary criticism, while Mistah F.A.B’s appearance complements the record’s energetic spirit.

“Vicous” is a celebration of ambition wrapped inside an engaging hip-hop performance.
