TXC link up with Davido, Zlatan for new Pan-African single
South African Amapiano duo TXC have announced a major cross-border collaboration with Nigerian superstars Davido and Zlatan on a new single titled Nakupenda, set for release this Friday, December 12, 2025.
The announcement has quickly sparked excitement online, with fans across Africa eager to hear what the powerful lineup has created.
The song brings together leading voices from both Nigeria and South Africa, reflecting the growing musical connection between Afrobeats and Amapiano. Alongside TXC, Davido, and Zlatan, the record also features Scotts Maphuma, Shoday, and Al Xapo, making it one of the most diverse collaborative releases of the year.
Promotional artwork shared ahead of the release describes the project as “a TXC original film,” hinting at a strong visual and creative direction behind the single. While full details of the song’s concept remain under wraps, the title Nakupenda, a Swahili phrase meaning “I love you” suggests themes of affection, celebration, or joy, delivered over a high-energy Amapiano sound blended with Afrobeats influences.
The collaboration adds to a growing list of partnerships between Nigerian and South African artists, a movement that fans and industry watchers see as key to strengthening Africa’s global music presence. With the combined influence of TXC, Davido, and Zlatan, Nakupenda is already being tipped as a potential club and festival favourite across the continent.
The single is expected to arrive on streaming platforms this Friday, with anticipation continuing to build ahead of its release.
