Ayra Starr and Odumodublvck Reportedly Set to Join Burna Boy and Rema on 2026 FIFA World Cup Album

Nigeria’s growing influence on the global music scene looks set to reach another milestone, with fresh reports claiming that Afrobeats star Ayra Starr and rap sensation Odumodublvck have been added to the official 2026 FIFA World Cup album.

The two Nigerian artists are reportedly joining an already star-studded lineup that includes Burna Boy and Rema, further highlighting the country’s dominance in contemporary African music. Burna Boy recently contributed to the tournament’s lead anthem, “Daï Daï,” alongside global superstar Shakira, while Rema featured on the track “Goals” with international acts Lisa and Anitta.

According to the reported tracklist, Ayra Starr is set to team up with American rapper Latto on a song titled “Show Me.” The collaboration is expected to blend Ayra’s signature Afropop melodies with Latto’s energetic rap delivery, creating one of the most highly anticipated cross-cultural records on the project.

The reported feature comes during a significant period in Ayra Starr’s career, following her growing international recognition and recent success on the global awards circuit. The singer is also preparing for the release of her highly anticipated third studio album.

Meanwhile, Odumodublvck is reportedly set for one of the most surprising collaborations on the World Cup soundtrack. The Abuja-born rapper is expected to appear on a track alongside Brazilian football icon Ronaldinho and Latin music stars Justin Quiles and Lenny Tavárez.

For Odumodublvck, whose music often references football culture and legendary players, the collaboration would represent a remarkable fusion of sport and entertainment. It would also further cement his status as one of Nigeria’s most influential and globally recognized rap artists.

If confirmed, the inclusion of Ayra Starr and Odumodublvck would further strengthen Nigeria’s representation on one of the world’s biggest sporting stages, showcasing the continued global rise of Afrobeats and African music ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
