Nigerian hitmaker Teni Apata has set social media ablaze after unveiling a sneak peek of her highly anticipated collaboration with American rapper Gunna, a track reportedly titled “Speed.”
The 79-second teaser, posted on October 27, 2025, shows Teni vibing to the unreleased song inside her car, confidently declaring it “the baddest song in the world.” The clip immediately sent fans into a frenzy, with many predicting that the track could be the next big Afrobeats-meets-hip-hop crossover hit.
The teaser offers a glimpse of what could be a groundbreaking sound: Teni’s vibrant Afrobeats energy fused seamlessly with Gunna’s laid-back trap flow. The beat—heavy, melodic, and infectious—suggests a production geared toward global appeal, bridging Lagos rhythms with Atlanta swagger.
Music site Click Vibes described it as “a bold fusion that could redefine how African and American urban sounds connect in 2025.”
Within hours of posting, the snippet went viral across X (Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok, drawing tens of thousands of likes, reposts, and duets. Excited fans flooded comment sections with praise and anticipation: “ATP make Gunna just come dey live for Naija!”
“Straight-up hit—no skips!”
“Na me go chop this gbedu finish!”
The overwhelming response underscored Afrobeats’ growing influence in global pop culture—especially its ability to merge seamlessly with Western genres.
“Speed” comes as Teni’s first solo offering of 2025, following her single “Money” released in January. Industry observers see the collaboration as part of her strategic international expansion, aligning her with a major U.S. act known for global chart success.
For Gunna, the track continues his recent embrace of Afrobeats—after showing support for African artists and expressing interest in more cross-continental projects.
Though no release date has been confirmed, the buzz is already explosive. Music outlets including Pulse Nigeria and NotJustOk report that “Speed” is expected to debut before the year’s end, with fans eagerly awaiting visuals and official streaming links.
With both artists known for delivering genre-bending hits, expectations are sky-high that this collaboration will dominate playlists across continents. As one fan aptly put it: “If this teaser is anything to go by, Teni and Gunna just cooked up a global anthem.”
