Wizkid released Come Closer on Fri Mar 31 2017.
Wizkid and Drake have become semi-frequent collaborators, working together on “One Dance” and “Ojuelegba (Remix).”
At an August 16 Summer Sixteen Tour afterparty in Detroit, Drake played “Fake Love” alongside “Hush Up The Silence” (rumoured to be titled “Chargie”).
While there were no titles or snippets released, Wizkid did mention on his twitter that he has a song with the “6 God” on the way.
Chargie is a Jamaican Patois meaning friend or “bro.”
In fact, there are two official videos to this song.
