Gunna and Wizkid’s “Forever Be Mine” Hits #9 on US Apple Music: A Fusion Milestone

In a thrilling blend of American trap and Afrobeats, Gunna’s latest track “Forever Be Mine“ featuring Wizkid has soared to #9 on the US Apple Music Top 10 chart as of August 11, 2025. This crossover success highlights the growing global appeal of genre fusions, with Afrobeats collaborations seeing a 40% spike in streaming since 2022, per a Journal of Popular Music Studies report.

Released on Gunna’s album The Last Wun just days ago on August 8, the song’s late addition of Wizkid’s verse captured in leaked studio footage adds to its buzz. Amid industry rivalries, like Burna Boy’s subtle social media shade, fans on X are debating its organic rise versus promotional pushes, echoing a 2023 Music Business Worldwide study on chart manipulations.

This hit underscores Afrobeats’ mainstream breakthrough, proving cultural bridges in music are here to stay. What’s next for this dynamic duo? Stay tuned!
