Derulo, who was in his music heydays, having sold over 50 million singles worldwide and racked up 11 Platinum singles at the time, hit the stage first.

He was then followed by Dela, and later Rayvanny. Cool was the last to arrive on stage, making a grand entrance with thunderous clapping and cheering from the audience.

The song, which was produced by Masterkraft, one of the biggest producers in Nigeria, runs for four minutes and 32 seconds.

Commenting on the track and that season of Coke Studio, Masterkraft said: "Having broken the barrier of ethnicity and culture, Coke Studio Africa is certainly one of the best things that has ever happened to African music. Coke Studio influences the part of music that interests a wider range of African people If it wasn't for Coke Studio Africa - as a producer - I am sure I wouldn't have met some of the top artists I've worked with on and after the show."

During the performance, Bebe Cool decided to dance while bending and shaking his ‘behind’, prompting more cheering from the revelers.

Cool also delivered a somewhat comical speech after his performance: "Courtesy Jason again, you know when you get... all the artistes like this and there is no air between us, I think that's a great gift from God. You make us feel it's okay."

He went on: "I think I should also make my brothers and sisters in Uganda and the rest of the world feel it's okay to come close to Bebe Cool."

Coke Studio Africa is a non-competitive music collaboration show, which seeks to bring together and celebrate the diversity of African music and talent.
