    Summer Walker and Don Toliver join Victony on upcoming “SLICK” remix

    American R&B singer Summer Walker and rapper Don Toliver are set to feature on the remix of Nigerian singer Victony’s song “SLICK,” scheduled for release at midnight on Friday.

    Walker previously shared her cover of “SLICK” on her Instagram Story, adding her vocals to the song. The cover came days after Lauryn Hill was spotted enjoying the track during a soundcheck with live band The Compozers. Walker’s cover was subsequently taken down from Instagram over copyright.

    “SLICK” peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s US Afrobeats Songs chart, where it spent 11 weeks as of the September 26, 2026 chart.

    The song also reached No. 1 on the UK Official Afrobeats Chart, holding the position for 13 consecutive weeks, according to the Official Charts Company.

    The remix brings Walker’s earlier interpretation of the song into an official collaboration and adds Don Toliver to the track. The original “SLICK” appears on Victony’s album STARLIFE.

    Summer Walker has covered Victony’s new single, “Slick,” giving the viral Afrobeats track her own R&B interpretation.

    The American singer shared her cover on her Instagram Story, adding her vocals to the song and putting her own spin on Victony’s latest release.

    Walker’s cover comes just days after Lauryn Hill was spotted vibing to “Slick” during soundcheck ahead of her performance with live band The Compozers last Sunday.

    The moment showed Hill enjoying the song ahead of her performance, while Walker has now taken her appreciation a step further by recording her own version.

    The two moments come as “Slick” continues to gain attention beyond its Afrobeats audience, with the song reaching established international artists from different corners of music.

    For Victony, having artists such as Summer Walker and Lauryn Hill engage with “Slick” offers another indication of the song’s growing reach and its ability to connect across genres and audiences.
