Nigerian singer Kitay steps into a fresh new vibe with his 2026 release “Joanna”, featuring rap storyteller Magnito. The track is smooth, warm, and catchy — the kind of song that feels light but stays with you.
The inspiration behind “Joanna” came from a real moment. Kitay saw a girl who literally took his breath away. “Her body was stunning… I just said in my mind, I no dey breathe again — come be my inhaler, come save me.”
That playful energy became the soul of the song, and the name Joanna captured the sweetness of the feeling.
Kitay, born Okotete Okiemute, has grown from choir stages in Warri to Project Fame, The Voice Nigeria, and now into his own sound — blending melody, emotion, and modern Afrobeats. After singles like “Ogogoro” and “Kwete”, “Joanna” stands as another strong step in his evolution.
Magnito adds his signature storytelling rap, giving the record a fun balance that makes it memorable and replay-ready.
