Tkay Maidza drops confident new single ‘WUACV’

Following the recent announcement of her forthcoming album ‘Sweet Justice’ (out on 3rd November), Tkay Maidza has shared another new track, ‘WUACV’ - an acronym of the phrase ‘woke up and chose violence’. Discussing the inspiration behind the lyrics, she has said: “I wanted to write a song where I could express my bubbling anger towards people who had manipulated me during the last phase of my life.”

‘WUACV’ arrives alongside a music video directed by Bel Downie, as well as news of headline tour dates around the US, UK and Europe (general sale for tickets starts at 10:00am local time on Friday 8th September). Check out both below:
