Where is Kevin Wai from?
Kevin Wai is Colombian. He grew up in El Pradito, a neighbourhood of Santa Marta, on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, and Santa Marta press calls him “el samario” (the man from Santa Marta). He now lives in Spain, where he makes his videos. That is why “Dame Hombro” ends with “del Pradito pa’l mundo entero”, from El Pradito to the whole world: it is his neighbourhood, next to Bulin 47’s Capotillo in Santo Domingo.
He is not Dominican, even though he raps over dembow. People often assume he is, because he trades bars so easily with Bulin 47.
How old is Kevin Wai?
His age has not been made public. Colombian outlets describe him as a young singer and rapper but do not give a birth date, and we have not found one in his interviews. Any exact age you see online is a guess.
How did Kevin Wai meet Bulin 47?
In early October 2026 Kevin Wai was waiting with a friend outside the Shoko nightclub in Madrid, where Bulin 47 was about to perform. In his words to El Universal: “The friend who is always with me told me, ‘You have to sing to Bulin 47’.” When Bulin walked past, Kevin raised the speaker and opened with:
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| “Dímelo, Bulin, que yo vine concentrao’” | “Talk to me, Bulin, I came focused” |
| “Llegó Kevin Wai, que le mete relajao’” | “Kevin Wai is here, and he takes it easy” |
| “Tú estás claro que en la calle yo nunca me desespero” | “You know that on the street I never lose my cool” |
Bulin stopped and answered on the spot, ending with the line everyone now quotes: “no ando en película, no ando en paquete, ya tú me conoce’, soy Bulin 47”. The clip passed 100 million views, according to El Universal, and the two released “Dame Hombro” days later. What each line means is in Dame Hombro lyrics in English.
Was the Bulin 47 video planned?
No, according to Kevin Wai. “I didn’t know Bulin 47 in person, we didn’t make a deal with his people, it was all a surprise,” he told El Universal. He credits the result to the chemistry between them: “He is humility in person.”
Who else has Kevin Wai freestyled for?
Bulin 47 was not the first. Kevin Wai’s format is always the same: find a well-known name, start the beat, rap, and see if they answer. Before “Dame Hombro”, videos of him doing it with these names were already going around:
- Puerto Rican artists Ñengo Flow, Bryant Myers, Miky Woodz and Arcángel
- Colombian singer Beéle
- Rapper Dei V, on the streets of Madrid
- Footballer Lamine Yamal, in May 2025, who stopped to listen
His YouTube channel also has songs of his own with other artists. Bulin 47 is the first time one of these encounters turned into an official release.
Kevin Wai on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube
El Universal credits his photos to the Instagram account @kevin_wai33, and he posts the same freestyle clips on TikTok and YouTube. Fan pages and reposts are everywhere since the video went viral, so check for the original account before you follow.
Is it Kevin Wai or Kevin Way?
Kevin Wai is the spelling on the song credits on Spotify and Apple Music. “Kevin Way” is a common misspelling in news stories and comments, because the two sound the same in Spanish and English.
