Alicia Keys, a Grammy-winning American musician, has expressed a strong desire to collaborate with Wizkid.
She earlier mentioned that she wanted to work with him, and a few weeks ago, she said on a podcast that she and Big Wiz got along well when working on a few unreleased songs.
In response, Alicia Keys promised the crowd that she and Starboy would work together soon. It was unclear from the music icon whether a date had been established or if she merely hoped it would be followed.

Alicia Keys’s real name is Alicia Augello Cook. She is an American pianist, singer, and composer. Keys, a pianist with classical training, began writing songs when she was 12 years old and was signed by Columbia Records when she was 15 years old.
She signed with Arista Records following disagreements with the label and later released her debut album, Songs in A Minor, through J Records in 2001. Over 12 million copies of the album were sold globally as a result of its economic and critical success.
Keys won five Grammy Awards in 2002 for the song, which gave birth to the number-one hit “Fallin’” on the Billboard Hot 100.
With eight million copies sold worldwide including the songs “You Don’t Know My Name,” “If I Ain’t Got You,” and “Diary,” her second album, The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003), was similarly a critical and economic success.
