Khaid returns with his latest single “ROVER”, a collaboration with Ayo Maff that pushes the boundaries of Afro pop. Blending Alte rhythms, highlife flows and introspective lyricism, ROVER is a layered narrative about love, ambition and the reality of modern hustle.
For Khaid, ROVER reflects a shift in perspective:
“Weighing the rate of genuine and fake love surrounding me makes me see life differently. Old-school highlife songs always told stories beneath the party vibes — I wanted to do the same. While I want people to enjoy the energy, it’s also a reminder to focus on your hustle and goals instead of distractions that slow you down.”
Ayo Maff, who brings his own sharp lyricism to the track, resonates deeply with its themes:
“This song really aligns with my sound and experience. When I say ‘Who said money can’t buy love?’ and ‘If you get the rabba make you buy the GLE, when you get the money you go know your enemies,’ it’s about the reality of success — people will always have something to say, but your grind speaks louder.”
With ROVER, the duo deliver a track that is both danceable and thought-provoking — an anthem for the ambitious generation navigating love, loyalty and self-worth.
