Running for 3 minutes and 50 seconds, the upbeat track blends Afrobeats and Afrosounds with Wande Coal’s familiar melodic delivery. The collaboration also reunites the singer and Juls, who previously worked together on the hit song “So Mi So.” Released under Black Diamond Entertainment, the single adds another exciting record to Wande Coal’s music catalogue.
The title “KOWOPE” comes from the Yoruba expression “K’owo pe,” meaning “Let the money be complete.” The song celebrates hard work, financial success and the freedom to enjoy the rewards of one’s efforts. Wande Coal adopts the name “Mr. Kowope” while encouraging listeners to enjoy life and ignore negative attention from others.
The release also arrived with a vibrant music video directed by TG Omori in Lagos. Its promotional rollout featured playful clips showing an owambe party taking place inside a bank.
With its catchy rhythm and celebratory message, “KOWOPE” gives fans another taste of Wande Coal’s signature Afrobeats sound.
