Nigerian music veteran Mr. P (Peter Okoye) and one-half of the legendary P-Square duo has teamed up with Ghanaian dancehall heavyweight Stonebwoy for his latest single, ODO. The track, a cross-cultural collaboration, dropped alongside its official music video, featuring a surprise cameo from boxing champion Anthony Joshua. Following his successful solo run with songs like Winning and Attention in 2024, ODO marks a significant moment, blending Nigerian Afrobeats with Ghanaian reggae-dancehall flair, showcasing the artists’ mutual admiration and shared vision.
ODO, meaning “love” in the Akan language, is a soulful anthem that fuses smooth vocals, rhythmic beats, and heartfelt lyrics, reflecting a powerful message of love and devotion. Produced by Mr. P with engineering by Goldswarm, the track layers Stonebwoy’s fiery dancehall energy with Mr. P’s seasoned Afropop sound, creating a rich tapestry that resonates across West Africa and beyond. The song’s infectious melody and emotional depth have already sparked excitement, with fans praising its chemistry and potential to dominate playlists. The music video, shot in Accra, amplifies this with vibrant visuals celebrating African unity, featuring dynamic choreography and a luxurious aesthetic that complements the track’s theme.
The release follows weeks of anticipation, with teasers and pre-order links circulating on social media, building hype for the audio-visual drop. ODO aligns with Mr. P’s ongoing solo career, which took off after P-Square’s 2016 hiatus, and Stonebwoy’s global rise, marked by his 2015 BET Award for Best International Act: Africa. With both artists leveraging their cultural roots and international appeal, ODO is poised to be a standout track of 2025, uniting fans across Nigeria, Ghana, and beyond with its uplifting vibe and cross-border collaboration.
