NIGERIAN artist Burna Boy has dropped a huge hint about a new J Hus collaboration that could be released later this year.
The self-proclaimed “African Giant”, took to X formerly known as Twitter, to repost a tweet made by a fan account.
The tweet said: “Burna Boy and J Hus’ joint EP is said to be released later this year, it will consist of 7 songs including 'City Boys' and will have guest appearance from Koffee.”
The EP is expected to feature Koffee, a Jamaican singer-songwriter who achieved success in 2018 with her hit single Toast.
Burna Boy's official X handle added a finger-point emoji, and in response, J Hus' Twitter account also quoted the tweet with the same finger-point emoji.

Burna Boy teased the possibility of a collaborative project with London rapper, 27, in an interview back in 2022.
This was after releasing his album Love, Damini, which featured J Hus on the track Cloak & Dagger.
