Fast-rising artist and Dangbana Republik signee FOLA, has shared an incredible “behind-the-scenes” story of how his hit record “One Condition” had Wizkid featured in.
During an interview with Hip TV’s Trending show, FOLA, surprisingly noted that Big Wiz literally begged his to have the song.
Revealing how the collaboration played out, the singer who also featured Kizz Daniel—‘Lost’ in one of his debut album- Catharsis, tracks, stated that the previous night before he got a call from DJ Tunez, he had met with afrobeat star Davido at a club in London and posted a clip of them together online and was still dwelling in the limelight until he got a call that Wizkid asked that he drop by the studio to work on a song together.

According to Fola, he had left London for Bristol for an event and informed DJ Tunez he was currently out of London and will be back the next day which DJ Tunez promised to give a text to confirm the meeting. As fate would have it, he got a text that included a number to call and that was a sealed deal.

Fola rushed to the studio, played Wizkid some of his unreleased songs, and Wizkid immediately picked “One Condition.” Shockingly, the song was originally meant for Mayorkun, but Wizkid loved it so much that he reportedly begged Fola to let him jump on it instead.
In his words: “I met OBO in the club. The next day DJ Tunez called me and said Wizkid wanted to see me. I got to the studio, played him my songs, and he chose ‘One Condition.’ It was actually meant for Mayorkun, but Wizkid begged me to let him have it. That’s how the song happened.”
The record has since exploded across Nigeria and beyond, racking up millions of streams and becoming one of the biggest Afrobeats hits of the year.
