Wande on the other hand has been relatively quiet after he dropped a video for 'Superwoman' off the "Wanted" album.
The singers however coming together will bring a lot of nostalgic memories for fans and the artists themselves, and makes even stronger the statement credited to Wande Coal some time back that he and D'banj would make a record together some time in the future.
