American artiste Kelly Rowland is the latest international star to collaborate with a Nigerian artiste, as she features in Mavin Princess Ayra Starr’s bloody Samaritan remix.

The duo took to social media on Tuesday to announce the release of the widely anticipated track which became available on all music streaming platforms on Wednesday.

“Super excited to share this with you all. Someone I’ve always wanted to work with and it’s on my song Bloody Samaritan…the beautiful legend @kellyrowland out tomorrow!!!” Ayra captioned her post on Instagram, while Kelly captioned it with a simple “Tomorrow”.

Ayra who is currently enjoying being at the number 1 spot on Apple Music’s Top 100 Nigerian songs and other digital platforms, with her first 2022 single “Rush”, released “Bloody Samaritan” a track off her album “19 and Dangerous” in 2021.

The track which was first released as a single blew up all over streaming platforms and social media, especially TikTok.  It earned her a “Viewers Choice” category win at the just concluded 15th Headies awards, while her album earned her eight nominations all together; one of the highest this year.

Kelly Rowland, one of Destiny’s Child trio, has been very open with her admiration and intention to collaborate with Starr. 

She recently featured in Jamaican singer and grandson to reggae legend Bob Marley- Skip Marley’s latest single titled “Jane”. The song was released one month ago.
