Her latest body of work, 'The Lion King: The Gift', initially got many talking because of the featured Nigerian acts - Burna Boy, Mr Eazi, Tekno, Wizkid, Yemi Alade and Tiwa Savage.

Another reason for the buzz is a particular song called 'BROWN SKIN GIRL' which starts with Beyonce's daughter Ivy Carter, Wizkid, Beyonce herself and emerging alt-Hip Hop act SAINt JHN.
