ID Cabasa Says He’d Love to Team Up with Burna Boy

Veteran producer ID Cabasa has revealed his admiration for Afrobeats heavyweight Burna Boy, expressing a desire to work with him.

In a recent interview on Hip TV, he shared that while he has worked with all the talents he wanted, the African giant is the only person he wishes to add to the list. He also shared that there’s another artist he would love to work, but noted that working with them would be complicated because of certain “nuisances.”

While Cabasa didn’t name this other artist outright, the name making rounds is Portable who is popular for his trouble-making antics. This subtle jab hints at common challenges in the Nigerian music scene, where egos, conflicts, or unprofessional behaviors can sometimes block promising partnerships.

As the brains behind Coded Tunes, Cabasa has crafted hits for stars across generations and is respected for his ear for rhythm, melody, and cultural resonance. His signature and tradition‑rich production could ground Burna’s experimental sound, crafting something both modern and authentic. Their combined brand power would attract fans across age groups, from die‑hard Afrobeats lovers to global mainstream audiences.

With Cabasa publicly expressing interest, the ball is now in Burna’s court or their respective teams to make this happen. Cabasa’s cultural stewardship and Burna’s Afro‑fusion excellence, such a partnership could produce one of the most significant Afrobeats tracks to date and set a new bar for the genre’s evolution.
