Asake and Blaqbonez join forces on their new collaborative single “Chanel”, released via Chocolate City Music, delivering one of the most talked-about Nigerian crossovers of 2026.
Already generating major anticipation online ahead of release, “Chanel” continues the momentum of two of Afrobeats’ most dynamic hitmakers. Blaqbonez arrives fresh from a sold-out UK headline run and the success of his No Excuses (Deluxe) era, while Asake continues his global rise, expanding his sound and stage presence with each international performance.
The track itself is a polished, luxury-driven record built on glossy production and infectious rhythm. “Chanel” leans into a high-end aesthetic, with both artists using the space to showcase contrasting but complementary styles. Rather than competing, their approaches intertwine — Blaqbonez bringing his playful, witty delivery and charismatic swagger, while Asake injects his signature melodic energy and street-rooted cadence.
Lyrically and sonically, the record revolves around themes of luxury, confidence, and lifestyle elevation, wrapped in a sound designed for both club rotation and viral social media moments. The production is sleek and vibrant, allowing each artist’s personality to cut through clearly while still maintaining a unified, crossover-ready feel.
With “Chanel”, Asake and Blaqbonez deliver a collaboration that highlights their individuality while proving their shared ability to dominate contemporary Afrobeats spaces. It’s bold, stylish, and built for impact across global audiences.
