Chike has mastered the art of the “situationship” ballad, and his new single Wetin Dey is another arrow in his quiver of heartstrings. The title, a familiar Nigerian expression meaning “What’s up?” or “What’s happening?”, is reimagined here as a deeper emotional inquiry.
The track opens with a soft, finger-picked guitar progression that instantly evokes the warmth of his Boo of the Booless era. Chike’s vocals are as pristine as ever, also carrying a gentle sincerity that has cemented him as a favorite for both heartbreak playlists and romantic ceremonies. His ability to glide through Pidgin English with poetic tenderness turns everyday slang into an intimate confession. The minimalist production also leaves room for his voice to take center stage, letting the story breathe.
With Wetin Dey, Chike reaffirms his place as one of the most evocative storytellers in contemporary Nigerian music.
