Why These Are the Latest Afrobeats Right Now

1. Young Jonn ft. Wizkid—Cash Flow

This sits at No. 1 because it’s a smooth, high-replay record that pairs Young Jonn’s hook instincts with Wizkid’s effortless glide. The title says it all; it feels luxurious without trying too hard, and it’s tailor-made for repeat plays. It’s the kind of track that anchors the latest Afrobeats conversation of 2025 with polish and swing. 

 

2. DJ Tunez, Wizkid & FOLA—One Condition

A DJ Tunez curatorial win with that unmistakable Wizkid calm and a co-star moment for FOLA. The pacing is unhurried, the pocket is deep, and the chemistry is instant. If you’re building a weekend set, start here and thank us later. 

 

3. FOLA—you

Every few years, Apple Music’s Nigeria charts introduce a fresh voice that refuses to leave the Top 10. In 2025, FOLA will have that voice. “You” is intimate yet catchy, a soft-hook earworm that grows with every spin. 

 

4. Asake—WHY LOVE

 “WHY LOVE” feels like a late-night drive anthem mixed with darker textures, sharper edges, and a hook that lingers even when the beat drops out. It’s an effortless addition to any “new Nigerian songs 2025” playlist. 

 

5. Asake & Tiakola—BADMAN GANGSTA

This one’s been a chart bully across platforms, and not by accident.—theAsake–Tiakola pairing fuses streetwise cadence with pop-ready melody. Beyond Apple’s song chart, it also logged a No. 1 week on the Official Nigeria Top 100 earlier in August, proving that it’s moving streams and radio. 

 

6. BNXN & FOLA—Very Soon

BNXN’s velvet vocal meets FOLA’s rising shine. It’s warm, reflective, and ridiculously replayable. 

 

7. Olamide, Seyi Vibez, Asake & Young Jonn—99 (feat. Daecolm)

This is the result of bringing together influential individuals. It is filled with swagger, textures, and a chorus that belongs in packed arenas. If you’re tracking the top 10 Naija songs of August 2025, “99” is your energy injection. 

 

8. Gunna—Forever Be Mine (feat. Wizkid)

This song effectively showcases cross-continental chemistry. Wizkid’s featherweight smoothness folds neatly into Gunna’s melodic trap pocket. 

 

9. Burna Boy—Love

Burna has a habit of making big songs feel intimate. “Love” is built on fluid phrasing and a steady pulse, and it’s precisely the late-night balance point your queue needs. 

 

10. Gunna—Waft (feat. Burna Boy)

Second Gunna entry in the Top 10, second seamless blend. Burna’s tone cuts through, turning a sleek rap record into cross-format fuel. If your playlist jumps between Lagos and Atlanta, this song is the bridge.
