How Kehlani Sparked the Biggest Song of Jordan Adetunji’s Career


Billboard spoke to Adetunji about "Kehlani" and it's climb up the Hot 100, working with the singer for the remix and wanting to work with Cash Cobain.

When 25-year-old Jordan Adetunji stumbled upon Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast episode with Kehlani last year, little did he know that the Cali-raised singer would become the unexpected muse for the biggest song of his career. Adetunji’s shifty vocal mastery over the slippery beat — based on a sample of Summer Walker’s “Potential” — helped spin “KEHLANI” into TikTok gold when the R&B star shared clips of her singing the song herself, igniting the flame for the track. With a summer heater and a new deal with 300 Entertainment and Warner Records U.K. in his pocket, Adetunji looks to make his next move as soon as this week, when he unveils the song’s remix — with, you guessed it, Kehlani.
