Last year, we reported Kanye West (‘Ye) collaborated with South Korea’s JYJ which sent a mad wave of excitement among Korean press and music fans. This year, it appears ‘Ye might be extending the love to the African continent. Last night, Nigerian blogs and social media sites went haywire when ‘Ye tweeted to Nigeria’s music stars D’Banj and Don Jazzy “Yo @iamdbanj and @DONJAZZYMOHITS get back to NY there is still work to be done.” Most are interpreting the tweets to mean a music collaboration in the works with the artists. We are excited for them and of course, time will tell. In the meantime both D’Banj and Don Jazzy just wrapped up a collaboration with Snoop Dogg. The video which we debuted here almost two weeks ago now has over 365,000 views. For an overview of Africa’s music industry and trend forecast, click here.
