Dave fans go wild as they ‘work out’ his next collaboration after Snapchat clue
BRITISH rapper Dave has sent fans into a frenzy after dropping cryptic hint on Snapchat about an upcoming collaboration.
Fans now think that Dave, 26, also known as Santan, will be collaborating with Afrobeats legend Rema.
Rema rose to fame in 2019 and gained international acclaim when he collaborated with pop icon Selena Gomez for the track Calm Down which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100.
Back in September, Dave and Rema were snapped in a recording studio together – sparking rumours they’re set to work together.
Rema recently teased his new single which sampled nineties soul singer Sade’s 1986 hit Is It A Crime.
He’s normally not active on his socials, but Dave decided to post a video of him listening to Sade with no context on Snapchat this week – adding fuel to the fire that he may be jumping on Rema’s new single.
Fans flooded the comments on Dave’s potential new collaboration with another heavyweight in the industry.
“Dave X Rema ? prayed for times like this,” commented one user.
Another penned: “Don’t give me hope.”
“Dave also liked the post on IG, pls God let your will be done,” added a third.
Three years on from his last album, Dave broke his silence on his next one as fans hope to see the rapper make a full return to the rap scene once again.
In September, the rapper took to X formerly known as Twitter to finally give fans an update on where he’s at with his new music.
Fans are now hoping his next album will be his best yet as he revealed that he’s been working on it for nine months.
The music star got straight to the point and asked fans to stop the speculation because it’s not ready just yet.
He wrote: “On the music front, nah not right now but I’ve only been working on it 9 or so months so just park those tweets.”
The artist rose to fame in 2016 after the release of his single Thiago Silva in collaboration with fellow British rapper AJ Tracey.
But, his first significant exposure came earlier in 2015 with his debut EP Six Paths.
His career continued to gain momentum after the release of his track Wanna Know which was remixed by US rapper Drake bringing Dave to international fame.
Since the rapper has continued to make his mark in the UK music scene collaborating with the likes of Stormzy and Central Cee.
He has also released hit songs such as Funky Friday, Location and Starlight.
Fans haven’t heard new music from the rapper since last year with the release of hit track Sprinter in collaboration with Central Cee.
The track debuted with 13.4 million streams which was the greatest week of streams for a rap single in UK history.
