Victony and Summer Walker for “Slick” remix also featuring Don Toliver
The tour appearance follows the artists’ collaborations on music. Don Toliver featured on the remix of Victony’s “Soweto,” alongside Rema, released in March 2023. More recently, Don Toliver joined Victony and Summer Walker on the “SLICK” remix, released on October 16, 2026.
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.
Nigerian singer Victony has submitted his second studio album, “STARLIFE,” and single “SLICK” for consideration in multiple categories at the 2027 Grammy Awards. His submissions include Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Best Global Music Album, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best African Music Performance.
“STARLIFE,” released on August 21, 2026, was submitted for Album of the Year and Best Global Music Album. The 15-track album features collaborations with artists including BNXN, Young Jonn, FOLA, Blaqbonez, Babyboy AV and YKB.

His single “SLICK” was submitted for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best African Music Performance. Released in July 2026, the song marked a shift towards a more dance-oriented sound compared with the introspective themes of his earlier work. It reached No. 1 on the UK Official Afrobeats Chart.
Victony’s submissions also include Best New Artist, a category recognising emerging recording artists. His previous releases include the albums “Stubborn” (2024) and “STARLIFE,” as well as the 2025 project “Very Stubborn.”
The entries are submissions for consideration, not confirmed nominations. The Recording Academy’s voting members determine the nominees through its first-round voting process. Nominations for the 2027 Grammy Awards are scheduled to be announced on November 16, 2026, ahead of the ceremony on February 7, 2027, in Los Angeles.
Victony has made his debut on the US Billboard World Albums chart, with his sophomore album “STARLIFE” opening at No. 20.
The chart entry marks the Nigerian singer’s first appearance on the World Albums ranking, following the release of the 15-track album on August 21. “STARLIFE” was released through OUTLAWVILLE under exclusive global licence to Encore Recordings.
The album’s release came a week later than originally planned. Victony had initially announced August 14 as the release date for “STARLIFE”, the same day Ayra Starr was scheduled to release her third studio album, “Starrgirl”.
Following criticism from fans over the scheduling, the release was moved to August 21. “Starrgirl” ultimately arrived as planned on August 14, giving Ayra Starr a full week before “STARLIFE” entered the market.
Despite the delay, “STARLIFE” opened strongly in Nigeria, reaching No. 1 on the Apple Music Nigeria Albums chart following its release.
The project expands on the sound Victony established with his 2024 debut album “Stubborn”, moving between Afrobeats, R&B and other contemporary influences. The 15-track album features appearances from BNXN, Blaqbonez, YKB, Young Jonn, Babyboy AV and FOLA, among others.
The album’s creative direction also reflects a more relaxed side of Victony. In an interview published ahead of its release, he described the project as a reflection of freedom, authenticity and having fun with his music. The project itself grew considerably during its creation: what began as a planned four-track EP eventually developed into a full-length album after the recording process continued to expand.
With its No. 20 debut on the Billboard World Albums chart, “STARLIFE” gives Victony his first entry on the US chart and adds another international milestone to the album’s early run.
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.
