Kehlani teases Clipse collaboration on her upcoming album, marking the latest development in a star-studded lineup of collaborations.
The Oakland singer posted a photo from a Grammy week party featuring Pusha T and Malice, captioning it "Track 2. @Clipse". While some were surprised to see Kehlani team up with the Virginia duo, fans are excited about the potential for new music.
Kehlani has been working closely with Pharrell Williams, who is also a longtime collaborator of Clipse's. In an interview with Inked Mag, she teased that her upcoming album will have more collaborations than previous projects, and all of them will be people she respects.
"I have way more collaborations than I've probably ever had, and they're all people that I really, really respect," Kehlani said. "And I think the coolest thing about it is, there's no features that feel like, 'Oh, a label threw this together,' or 'Two people were popping right now, so we just threw it together.' It was all super organic."
The album is shaping up to be a special one, with R&B legends Brandy and Usher already confirmed as guests. Kehlani's latest single "Folded" earned her a top 10 Billboard Hot 100 spot and nominations for best R&B song and best R&B performance at the Grammys.
Clipse has been nominated for five Grammy Awards behind their comeback album Let God Sort Em Out, which features Pharrell Williams' production.

! I mean, she's already working with Pharrell and R&B legends like Brandy and Usher, so this is like the ultimate dream team 
. The fact that all these collaborations feel organic and not just some label-throw-together thing is really refreshing. It's cool to see Kehlani pushing boundaries and making music with people she respects 
. And Clipse's comeback album got nominated for Grammys, so this collab could bring even more buzz 
. I'm hyped to hear what they come up with next 
just saw Kehlani teasing a collab with Clipse on her new album!! I'm SO stoked! 
Pharrell's production is gonna bring that special sauce too 
and Brandy and Usher joining in? YAAAS! 
all these collabs are making me hyped for Kehlani's new album 
that's insane! And according to Billboard, her album sales have been steadily increasing since the release of her last single 
it's clear she's got a new wave of fans & oldies reppin too 
did u know she earned 4 nominations?! 
clipse has been nominated 5 times btw 
Their vibe is so different from hers, but in a good way 
. And can we talk about how Pharell is the real MVP here? 
He's always been a genius behind the scenes and now he gets to bring Kehlani & Clipse together for magic 
. I love how Pharrell is also involved - he's always been a legend in his own right. And with Brandy and Usher on board too? That's some serious star power 
. But honestly, what I'm most excited about is the collaborations themselves. If Kehlani said it was all organic and respectful... I'm hoping we get something special here 
In a world where it's easy to get caught up in the hype and superficiality, Kehlani's approach is a breath of fresh air. She's not just throwing features together for the sake of it; she's curating a project that's all about passion, creativity, and mutual respect. That's something we can all learn from! 
. i'm so here for the brandy & usher collab tho, that's a whole other level of special 
we need to get all the teas soon
. Like, who thought it was a good idea to pair her with Clipse? Those guys are all old and grizzled - I bet they're gonna make their song sound way too slow for the youth 
. And don't even get me started on Pharrell being involved again... he's just gonna bring that same weird vibe to the table 
. Can't Kehlani just focus on making some genuine R&B music without all these unnecessary celebrity collaborations? 
plus clipse just came back from that comeback album, gotta love some well-deserved recognition 
The way Kehlani talks about these collabs feeling organic is so true, I love that she's being so genuine and authentic about her creative process. Let's get this album already! 
I mean, can't she just make some good music on her own for once? and btw, Pharrell's involvement is already a given, like who else was gonna touch up Clipse's production skills?
