About “Chapati”
“Chapati” is the sixth song from Tanzanian singer Abigail’s “5” EP. The Afropop/Amapiano song was written by Whozu (Oscar John Lelo), Chino Kidd (Isaya Michael Mtambo), and Lody Music (Omary Alawi Omary). “Chapati” was produced by Salim Rashid Kassim Maengo and released on September 29, 2023 through 2023 Sony Music Entertainment Africa (Pty) Ltd.
Abigail Chams said this about “Chapati”;
“‘Chapati’ is quite an interesting song. Chapati is Swahili food, but in Swahili, we use ‘chapati’ like a slur. Basically, this song is like a diss track. I sang it with Whozu, so it’s also a collaboration and a girl singing to her ex. She’s telling him she knows he’s got a new lover. At this point of the EP, we’ve broken up. I met this guy, I was falling in love. Then we had our moment on ‘Nani?’ where it was like, ‘Is this what it’s like to be in love?’ Then we had ‘Milele’, where it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m definitely in love now, let’s be together forever.’ Then we have ‘Corazon’ where we explore all the sensual and intimate areas of love. With ‘Chapati’, it’s like, ‘Damn, we were in love, but it’s over.’ Now this is me singing to my ex that he’s crazy if he thinks that I’m going to let him back in my life. So the chorus translates to, ‘You found a new lover, you got a new girl, but she cannot compare to me. There’s no way she could be me. She can never ever be me.’ It’s a diss track. Then Whozu comes in and does the same to me.”
