Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr returns with a new single titled ‘Gimme Dat’, featuring Grammy-winning star Wizkid. Released on April 25, 2025, the track cleverly samples Wyclef Jean’s classics ‘Diallo’ and ‘911’ featuring Mary J. Blige, reimagined with a pulsating Galala rhythm and Ayra’s signature mid-tempo groove.
Produced by VybeO and Mikababeatz, ‘Gimme Dat’ sees Ayra Starr delivering heartfelt verses in pidgin English, offering up her love with vulnerability. Wizkid steps in seamlessly, echoing her devotion with his smooth, romantic flair.
This marks their second collaboration, following Ayra’s feature on ‘2 Sugar’ from Wizkid’s 2022 album More Love, Less Ego. The new single continues what’s already a massive year for Ayra, who recently dropped the video for ‘All The Love’and earned global acclaim with her sophomore album The Year I Turned 21.
A chart-topper and MOBO Award winner, Ayra also led Spotify’s Global Impact List for 2024, thanks in part to her viral hit ‘Santa’ with Rvssian. Now, with ‘Gimme Dat’, she looks to build on her momentum — and possibly add to her eight nominations at the upcoming 17th Headies, including Album and Artist of the Year.
