Full Story

In a remarkable display of cross-continental artistic synergy, two prominent African music figures, Zambian sensation Boganz and Nigeria's acclaimed hitmaker Olakira, have seemingly reached a consensus: Ghanaian women are exceptionally remarkable. The duo recently unveiled a lavish Pan-African anthem titled "Abena," boldly presenting themselves as the "Two African Kings" within the project.

Their collaboration extended beyond just studio work; the artists meticulously crafted a compelling visual narrative. Newly released behind-the-scenes footage from the production reveals both stars adorned in heavy, bespoke gold ensembles. Adding a unique cultural dimension to the visuals, Zambian artist Boganz fully immersed himself in Nigerian heritage, appearing on set alongside Olakira dressed in authentic Igbo royal regalia.

This cross-border track has already sparked considerable online debate, with many users discussing whether Ghanaian women truly embody the pinnacle of African beauty. To further engage their audience and potentially "settle the score," the "Two Kings" have announced a substantial cash prize of $1,000 USD, which translates to over 1 Million Naira, for an ultimate "Figure 8 Dance Challenge."

Women from both Nigeria and Ghana are actively participating, showcasing their dance skills to the track's highly addictive pre-chorus: "Figure 8 oh / You carry back carry front oh." Competitors are vying for the significant prize money and the prestigious title of the ultimate African goddess. Given Boganz and Olakira's considerable investment and cross-border appeal in celebrating "Abena," the track is widely anticipated to become a major hit in clubs and across social media platforms this weekend. Fans can access the viral behind-the-scenes footage and stream the track via the provided link.
