NME Cover star Jordan Adetunji brought out fellow singer KWN during his recent sold-out headline show in London. Check out the footage below.
Adetunji performed a collection of his newest and previous songs last night (February 27) at The Lower Third venue in the capital as part of the UK and European leg of his 2025 world tour. The tour celebrated the Irish star’s second mixtape, ‘A Jaguar’s Dream’, and one of the singles from the record was ‘Too Many Women’ featuring KWN.
When Adetunji first hyped up the track by saying the beat breakdown from ‘Attractive’ “sounded familiar” before playing the instrumental to ‘Too Many Women’. He began to perform the song, with phones going up in anticipation for KWN – who eventually surprised fans by walking on stage nonchalantly singing her verse.
The two interacted during the last chorus before getting the crowd to “make some noise” for one another.

Elsewhere in his set, the 26 year-old played ‘YOU&I’ – a throwback from his debut 2023 mixtape, ‘Rock N Rave’ – and gave rock makeovers to ‘Break The System’ and ‘Options’ from ‘A Jaguar’s Dream’, going back to his original roots as an indie rock star who was scouted by Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes.
He also reflected on his career thus far since releasing ‘Rock N Rave’: “That was an important time for me because I was making a lot of music and no one was really appreciating it at the time. Some of you guys here appreciated it, and I’m thankful for you guys. That’s why, if I have any advice for any new artists: it’s consistency, man. Consistency is key.”
Adetunji will finish the UK and European leg of his 2025 tour in Paris this Sunday (March 2) at the La Boule Noire. Then, he’ll take his act stateside for a brief five-show run, which will end at Rolling Loud California on March 15. Fans can find any available tickets here.
‘A Jaguar’s Dream’ was released back in January, and includes both the original and remix versions of Adetunji’s breakthrough hit, ‘Kehlani’. The song has since been nominated for Best Melodic Rap Performance at this year’s Grammys, Best Newcomer and Song Of The Year at the 2025 MOBO Awards, and may win Song Of The Year at this weekend’s BRIT Awards.
When talking to NME about ‘Kehlani’ for The Cover last October, the singer said: “It’s crazy hearing it in the club still. Seeing Jaden Smith vibing to it, seeing Travis Scott going crazy to it on his Story… it’s created a culture, which I love.”
In other news, NME selected KWN to be a part of this year’s NME 100 – a list of essential emerging artists on the brink of greatness – praising her for her “confident, free-roaming interpretation of modern R&B, bringing in elements of dancehall, autotuned hip-hop and gospel”.
She was also an opening act for the UK and European leg of Kehlani’s ‘Crash’ world tour. The two have also released music together, including ‘Clothes Off’ from Kehlani‘s 2024 ‘While We Wait 2’ EP and the remix of KWN’s viral tune ‘Worst Behaviour’.
