Twitter reception of the new Tiwa Savage-assisted song has been dreadful, as many opined that the work is below the singer’s established prowess.
Tiwa Savage collaborated with the South African DJ group Major League and global DJz Major Lazer to create a new Amapiano single titled “Koo Koo Fun”.
The 3 minutes 30 seconds long music video was co-produced by Diplo, Major League Djz, DJ Maphorisa, Stargate and Don Jazzy.
It was released on Thursday and was warmly received on Instagram. But not on Twitter.

Daniel Regha analysed the song as follows: “Tiwa Savage’s new song (Koo Koo Fun) is sounding like k!ndergarten rhymes; She’s a great artiste but that song was too disappointing. Amapiano isn’t for everyone, Nigerian artistes should stick to the musical styles they know best, evolve & quit hopping on every trend. No shades.”
@whereistega_ said: ”It’s safe to say tiwa savage dropped the worst song in 2022👍🏾. “don’t come to shame me” 😭😭”
@ayam_natty_: “This thing wey Tiwa Savage do, make she sha no try am again 😑😑”
@wapogaSZN: “Everybody wait fess, Tiwa Savage is serious with that song?”
There were some supportive tweets too.

Music interest is sentimental and sometimes passes as hypocritical. Koo koo fun is a dope ass song and I f*ck with #Tiwasavage any day.”
@IamVictorVital: “Tiwa savage dropped a cruise & fun song y’all are being over serious. Koo koo fun is just a DJ kinda groove, sometimes allow artists be at their casual moments. Songs mustn’t have 2 verses, chorus & even pre-hook. Just like “skeleton move” that year, koo koo fun is here to eat.”
@IamMadeStrong: “Just listened to this Tiwa Savage’s koo koo fun and guess what? it’s not bad… the beat was a fusion of EDM and Amapiano … and she killed it .. no be every time dem dey shout for song …
Well expect a koo koo fun type beat”
