Nadia Mukami Announces Dera Party After Woza Tops Kenya Charts

Singer Nadia Mukami has confirmed plans to host a dera party to celebrate the success of her latest song, Woza, which has quickly gained momentum across the country. The Kenyan star shared the news on her Instagram account on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, revealing that the celebration will take place on Friday, December 19, 2025. While the exact venue has not yet been announced, fans have been invited to help decide the location.

Nadia’s announcement follows the strong performance of Woza, which she described as the number one song in Kenya. The singer credited her loyal fan base and her faith for the milestone, while also encouraging supporters to join in marking the moment with a themed dera party.
“NUMBER 1 SONG IN KENYA 🔥🔥🔥Thank you to my amazing fans and most of all glory to God 🙏 DERA PARTY HAPPENING THIS FRIDAY PLEASE SUGGEST A GOOD LOCATION FOR US TO WOZAAA,” Nadia wrote.

The post quickly sparked excitement online, with fans suggesting various venues and sharing their plans to attend. The dera party concept has become popular in Kenya as a relaxed and inclusive way for artistes and fans to connect, making the event a fitting celebration for a song that has resonated widely.

Why has Nadia Mukami’s Woza sparked debate online?

The party announcement comes shortly after Nadia addressed claims that Woza sounded similar to music by Tanzanian star Zuchu. As the singer promoted the track, social media users flooded her pages with mixed reactions, with some accusing her of copying another artiste’s style.

In response, Nadia released a clear statement on Instagram on Saturday, December 13, 2025, stating that the song was original and not sampled from any existing work.
“Dear fans, I have noted the comparison of my brand-new song with numerous songs, and I want to make it clear that I have not copied or sampled anyone’s song,” she said.

She went on to explain that Woza was created by tapping into a sound that is currently popular across the region. According to Nadia, the production approach was intentional and guided by her producer, Teknixx. She noted that several well known artistes have explored similar sounds, making it unfair to single her out for criticism.

“All I did was jump on a trendy sound through my producer, Teknixx. Rema has done it, Jux has done it, Marioo, Nandy, Zuchu, and others have done it, but when Nadia does it, she is said to have copied,” she lamented.

How is Nadia responding to the success of Woza?

Despite the controversy, Nadia has remained focused on celebrating the song’s achievements. She emphasized her commitment to growth as an artiste and her willingness to experiment with different sounds as part of her creative process.

“I take my craft sooo seriously, and I am always looking to explore different sounds. Thank you for your Great feedback and reception of WOZA!! Now trending on YouTube! Link on Bio,” she added.

With Woza trending and the dera party set for later this week, Nadia Mukami is turning attention back to the music and her fans. The upcoming celebration signals confidence, gratitude, and a readiness to enjoy the moment after days of public debate, reinforcing her position as one of Kenya’s most influential contemporary artistes.
