Chechii – Mi Paddi ft Kracktwist & Samza: Rising Afrosoul star Chechii has announced the release of her latest single, ‘Mi Paddi’, an upbeat Afro-fusion track that showcases her signature blend of Pop, Afrobeat, and R&B with a heartfelt twist. Featuring Sierra Leonean duo Kracktwist and Samza, the song is an infectious celebration of friendship, cultural exchange, and the joy of creative collaboration.

Formerly known as Uchechi Emelonye, Chechii has made waves in the global music scene with acclaimed tracks like Underwater and Little Black Bird.

Blending Afropop, Afrosoul, and Afrobeat, Mi Paddi radiates warmth, groove, and optimism—just in time for the summer. It continues a thematic thread that runs through Chechii’s previous songs like With You and Dance, highlighting the emotional richness of shared human experiences.

With Mi Paddi, Chechii cements her status as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary Afro-fusion music, delivering a sound that’s as inclusive and diverse as her own story.

On the release, Chechii shares, “‘Mi Paddi’ is a celebration of friendship, inspired by the bonds I’ve built across continents and the new connection formed with Kracktwist and Samza through this collaboration.”
