Burna Boy Drops ‘Laho II’ Remix: Fans React to New Global Hit Collaboration with Shallipopi
Nigerian music sensation Shallipopi’s hit single Laho has recently received a major boost with a remix featuring Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy. The remix, titled Laho II, was officially released on April 25, 2025, and has since ignited a wave of excitement among fans, further propelling the song into the spotlight.
Burna Boy, ever the social media enthusiast, shared the backstory of the remix with his followers on Instagram, offering some clarity on the song’s release journey. According to the global star, Laho II was actually recorded before Shallipopi’s solo version of Laho but could not be cleared in time for its original release due to timing conflicts with other projects that involved Burna Boy. He explained:
“So after all these years y’all still don’t know me enough? If this ‘Laho’ was the remix then I’d go first lol. This was actually the original version, It just couldn’t be cleared for the time he wanted to release ’cause it clashed with other releases that had to do with me. Na the remix Shalli first drop, this is the original. Shallipopi ft Burna Boy LAHO 2 dropping today at 12am.”
The release of Laho II comes after the massive commercial success of Shallipopi’s Laho, which has rapidly gained momentum as one of Afrobeats’ biggest songs of 2025. Burna Boy’s involvement in the remix is expected to take the track to even greater heights, with his global profile set to boost its international appeal.
The Remix Hits the Global Stage
Burna Boy unveiled the Laho II remix during his record-breaking Stade De France concert in Paris, where he performed the track live with Shallipopi. The unexpected collaboration at the sold-out show was met with an electric reception from the crowd. The duo also brought the high-energy performance to Burna Boy’s historic Co-op Arena concert in Manchester, further cementing the song’s place in the Afrobeats spotlight.
Fans of both artists are eager to see if the remix will become the first global hit of 2025 in the Afrobeats genre. With Burna Boy’s star power behind Laho II, there is speculation that the track could feature as a bonus on Burna Boy’s upcoming eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness.
Burna Boy’s Winning Streak with Remixes
Laho II is the latest in a series of successful remixes that Burna Boy has featured on. He recently collaborated with Joé Dwèt Filé on the remix of 4 Kampé II, which he also performed during his recent concerts. The growing number of collaborations and remixes highlights Burna Boy’s dominance in the global music scene and his ability to elevate tracks with his signature Afro-fusion style.
