Zambia’s music scene continues to capture international attention, and this time, it’s none other than American star Rotimi who’s expressed interest in working with one of the country’s biggest talents — Yo Maps.
The actor and singer, best known for his roles in Power and chart-topping hits like In My Bed and Love Riddim, responded to a Facebook comment from a Zambian fan who suggested a collaboration with Yo Maps. Rotimi’s reply was simple but promising: “Yeah, I like his vibe.”
While brief, the response has sparked excitement across social media platforms, with fans already dreaming up what such a collaboration could sound like. Known for blending Afrobeats, R&B, and pop, Rotimi’s smooth vocals would be an ideal match for Yo Maps’ rich melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and soulful delivery.
Yo Maps, real name Elton Mulenga, has become a household name in Zambia and beyond, dominating airwaves with hits like Kaleza, So Chabe, Aweah, and Fatima. His ability to infuse African rhythms with relatable storytelling has made him a fan favorite and a perfect candidate for a cross-border collaboration.
If this musical link-up does happen, it could be another major milestone for Zambian music on the global stage. In recent years, African artists have been breaking boundaries, and Yo Maps is well-positioned to join those ranks with the right collaborations and continued growth.
Until then, fans will be watching closely and hoping that Rotimi’s comment was more than just a polite response but the beginning of something beautiful.
