Afrobeats superstar Wizkid and his official DJ, DJ Tunez, dropped their collaborative single “State of Mind” today, May 15, 2026. The release is another moment in a musical partnership that has stretched over a decade.
DJ Tunez confirmed the May 15 date in late April via social media: “NEW MUSIC NEXT MONTH! STATE OF MIND! BIG WIZ!” The post got the countdown going and set Nigerian music Twitter into a predictable frenzy.
A decade of collaboration
DJ Tunez has been part of the Starboy sound for years, helping shape the textural, unhurried quality that runs through much of Wizkid’s best work. Their chemistry isn’t new — but it still delivers.
Rumours of a project under the “State of Mind” title had been circulating before the official announcement, with snippets and fan speculation building quietly. DJ Tunez’s confirmation gave those rumours somewhere to land.
What to expect
The title suggests something reflective and interior, which fits where Wizkid has been sonically in recent years. Whether it’s a standalone single or the lead into something bigger hasn’t been confirmed.
Knowing how carefully Wizkid curates his rollouts, either outcome would track. For now, the Starboy faithful have the drop — and they’ll decide what it means.
