In a brilliant display of his curatorial prowess, Starboy’s official DJ, DJ Tunez, has orchestrated a soulful masterpiece titled “Stingy.” Arriving in early February 2026, the track features an eclectic lineup including the vocal dexterity of Daecolm, the rising star power of Khaid, and the melodic finesse of Kemuel, creating a record that feels both timeless and fresh.
The song is a sleek, mid-tempo R&B-Afro fusion co-produced by DJ Tunez and his team of sonic architects. While much of the 2026 landscape has been dominated by high-speed club tracks, “Stingy” chooses a more sensual and possessive path. The lyrics tackle the intense emotions of romantic gatekeeping, with the artists expressing a refusal to share their partner’s attention with the world. It is a smooth, intoxicating piece that reflects their roles as modern-day crooners, speaking directly to those who understand the selfish nature of deep infatuation.
Musically, the track features a lush, atmospheric production defined by its “bouncy” bassline and intricate guitar plucks that provide a warm backdrop for the vocalists to shine. Daecolm’s international flair, combined with the distinct Nigerian textures of Khaid and Kemuel, results in a vocal harmony that glides effortlessly over the beat. By assembling this particular group, DJ Tunez has effectively reinforced his 2026 mission—to continue bridging the gap between global R&B and the heart of Afrobeats through high-level collaboration.
