Talking more about his collaborations outside the nation, the Tamma Tamma Loge singer informed that he teamed up with Akon two months ago and that song will be out soon.
“Two duets, with Lady Gaga singing in English and me in Hindi in my inimitable style. We are now waiting for the release to be greenlit, hopefully by the year-end. I also collaborated with Akon two months ago. That song should also be out soon,” Bappida told during the interview.
Well, for Bappida, that's not the end of the tale. In yet another association on the International platform, the former will be teaming with tech house genius Jamie Jones and DJ duo The Martinez Brother for their new mash-up titled 'Bappi'. “It features a remix of my superhit song from Disco Dancer, Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy.
