The ‘Things Fall Apart’ Hitmaker Is Back With a Cross-Border Banger That Has Ghana and Nigeria Buzzing
Ghanaian highlife and hiplife sensation Kofi Kinaata has once again stolen the spotlight—but this time with a surprising twist. The multi-award-winning artist has teamed up with Nigerian Afrobeat sensation Rema for a brand-new song titled “Sɛ Me Bo” which was officially released on July 16, 2025. The collaboration, which no one saw coming, has instantly gone viral across West Africa.
The song blends Kofi Kinaata’s trademark storytelling lyrics with Rema’s smooth Afrobeat delivery, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. In less than 24 hours after its release, “Sɛ Me Bo” has climbed to the number one spot on Apple Music Ghana and is trending on TikTok with over 80,000 user-created videos already using the sound.
Fans were left in awe after both artists teased a snippet of the video on Instagram. The visuals, shot in Cape Coast and Lagos, feature stunning beachside scenes, vibrant local fashion, and a plot that touches on love, betrayal, and redemption. Many say it’s not just a song—it’s an experience.
Social media has been set ablaze with reactions. On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag #KinaataRema is trending, with fans from both Ghana and Nigeria applauding the unity between the two stars. Some comments even suggest this may be the collaboration of the year.
Kinaata, in a recent interview with Hitz FM, explained how the song came to life: “I’ve always admired Rema’s energy. I sent him the idea, and within days, he sent back his vocals. The chemistry was instant.”
Rema also praised Kinaata, calling him “one of the most genuine voices in African music.”
Industry insiders believe this release is just the beginning of more collaborations between Ghanaian and Nigerian artists, a trend that continues to bridge cultural gaps and expand Africa’s global music influence.
Whether you’re a fan of Kinaata’s lyrical depth or Rema’s youthful energy, “Sɛ Me Bo” is the song you don’t want to miss this summer.
