Rema, Wizkid Collaborate On Seven-Track EP ‘E-Mortal Boy’

Hillary Michael · Entertainment · Nov 12, 2026

For years, fans have wondered when Rema would finally link up with one of Afrobeats' "Big 3." On November 11, 2026, the Calm Down star answered the question in the most audacious way possible: not with a single, but with a whole project.

The announcement, made via Instagram on November 11, 2026, was as strategic as it was shocking. Rema—born Divine Ikubor—has spent his career building a global footprint without ever releasing a song with Wizkid, Davido, or Burna Boy. That changes on November 20, when E-Mortal Boy lands under Mavin Global Holdings and Jonzing World Entertainment, with Wizkid occupying the coveted opening slot on "Feel Alright" .

The tracklist, revealed alongside the artwork, reads like a deliberate tour of Rema's sonic influences. After "Feel Alright," the EP moves through "Oh No" and "Velvet" before hitting "Tanzania," which features American producer BNYX, a collaborator with deep ties to the rap world. The project then winds down with "TEA" and "SUGA" before closing with "Bang Bang," which brings in British producer London and Nigerian-American singer Kah-Lo, a Grammy nominee for her work on Riton's "Rinse & Repeat". Two tracks—"Oh No" (released in May 2026) and "TEA" (released in August 2026)—are already familiar to fans, leaving five fresh songs for the EP's arrival.

The Wizkid collaboration carries a generational weight that transcends the music itself. DancehallMag noted that Wizkid helped carry Afrobeats onto global stages more than a decade ago, while Rema is part of the wave that pushed it even further, most notably with "Calm Down" and its Selena Gomez remix. Placing the Starboy on track one is a statement of intent: Rema is not burying the lede. He wants the world to hear this union first. For a lot of listeners, the chance to hear these two trade verses is reason enough to clear their Friday.

The EP also slots into a remarkable run for Rema. His 2024 album HEIS set a record for the biggest first-week streams on Spotify Nigeria and earned a Best Global Music Album nomination at the 2025 Grammys. At the 16th Headies, he won Best Male Artiste and Digital Artiste of the Year, and at the 9th AFRIMA, he took home Artiste of the Year, Best Male Artiste in Western Africa, and Best African Artiste in RnB and Soul. E-Mortal Boy is his first extended play since 2023's RAVAGE, and it arrives with the kind of momentum most artists can only dream of.

As with any pre-release rollout, a note of caution is warranted: the tracklist circulating online could still shift before November 20, as last-minute changes to features and running orders are not uncommon. But the headline is already written. Rema has spent years proving he belongs among Afrobeats' elite without their cosign. Now, with E-Mortal Boy, he has the cosign anyway—and he is putting it front and centre.
