Yuppe added, “Working with Burna Boy was both nerve-wracking and exhilarating. He was accommodating and ensured a comfortable collaborative environment.”
The highly-anticipated remix is out now, and will be followed by a music video filmed in Lagos, Nigeria and directed by The Alien. Burna Boy, renowned for his ability to elevate tracks through remixes, brings his signature flair to “Tshwala Bam,” following successful remixes of hits like Master KG’s “Jerusalema” and Asake’s “Sungba.”
Burna Boy shared his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Jumping on the ‘Tshwala Bam’ remix was a no-brainer for me. It’s a track that resonates with everyone, and I’m thrilled to bring my energy to it and connect with fans in a whole new way.”
Originally released on February 23rd, “Tshwala Bam” and its accompanying dance challenge have captivated audiences worldwide, amassing an unprecedented 11.5 billion TikTok views and over 100 million streams across DSPs. The track has dominated global charts, including #9 on Global Shazam charts and top spots on Spotify Viral charts in multiple countries.
The viral challenge took the world by storm, organically embraced by fans, including Tyla, Kai Cenat, Chris Brown, Jason Derulo, Jayda Wayda, Shenseea, Saucy Santana, Poco Lee, Kamo Mphela, and more. It is currently the largest Amapiano record of 2024 and on the path to becoming the largest Amapiano record of all time - the track's ability to inspire, unite, and celebrate is a testament to the talent and creativity of its creators and reaffirms Amapiano's position as a genre with limitless potential.
Moreover, “Tshwala Bam” marks a significant milestone as the first South African song in three years to hit #1 on Apple Music in Nigeria.
In light of the remix, TitoM and Yuppe are gearing up for a European Tour to further promote the BurnaBoy-assisted version of the track, ensuring its continued global domination.
