Ayra Starr and Wizkid Ignite Sparks in New Video for "Gimme Dat"
In a stunning conjunction of sonic alchemy and visual allure, Ayra Starr and Wizkid have unveiled a new music video for their sultry single, “Gimme Dat,” a track that promises to set the airwaves ablaze and keep listeners yearning for more.
Set against a dreamlike backdrop, the video showcases Starr, draped in a striking red dress that would make any emoji proud, teasing an unseen love interest while reclining on a life-sized vinyl record. Her sultry vocals dance through the air as she sings, “Diallo, Diallo/If I give you my love, oh/Make you no disappoint, oh/Me I get you for mind, oh.” It’s a playful invitation wrapped in an irresistible package of rhythm and romance.
Wizkid, meanwhile, is caught in a chic room full of glamorous companions. His soothing vocals bring forth promises of monogamy in a landscape of fleeting attractions. “Loving you dey put me in a different mindset/Girl, na only you go make me stick to one girl,” he croons, tapping into a universal longing that transcends borders and genres. The pair’s long-awaited meeting comes at the video’s climactic end, marked by the fiery spectacle of an expensive-looking car set ablaze, a powerful metaphor for passion ignited and feelings unleashed.
Produced by the dynamic duo of VybeO and Mikabeatz, “Gimme Dat” opens with shimmering guitar riffs that echo the nostalgic vibes of Mary J. Blige and Wyclef Jean’s 2000 classic, “911.” This collaboration marks the second time Starr and Wizkid have graced the studio together, following their well-received track “2 Sugar” from Wizkid’s 2022 album, More Love, Less Ego. “Gimme Dat” also serves as Starr’s second single of the year, following February’s aptly titled track, “All The Love.”
As the clock ticks on a promising 2025, Wizkid, too, is making waves, having just dropped “Kai!” with fellow Nigerian artist Olamide. Last year, he charmed fans with his sixth studio album, Morayo, while Starr captivated audiences with her sophomore album, The Year I Turned 21.
In a cherry-on-top moment, the release of “Gimme Dat” coincides with Starr’s recent triple nomination at the BET Awards for Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, Best New Artist, and Best International Act. She also made her much-anticipated debut at the Met Gala this Monday, styled by the acclaimed Ozwald Boateng.
Looking ahead, fans can catch Starr headlining Summer Jam at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on June 20, alongside notable names including A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, Gunna, and GloRilla. And in a thrilling leap into the world of film, she’ll star in the upcoming adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s novel Children of Blood and Bone, set to hit IMAX theaters on January 15, 2027.
“Gimme Dat” isn’t just a song; it’s a vibrant statement signifying the depth of collaboration in the evolving landscape of music. Starr and Wizkid have crafted a scene that resonates, tantalizes, and ultimately leaves you eagerly wanting more.
