The Star Boy, who won the hearts of many Nigerian with his song Holla At Your Boy in 2011 has dropped numerous hits since then.
The year 2021 has been all about the international scene for Wizkid, with his song Essense featuring Tems being declared as the song of the summer.
Wizkid earned some bragging rights this year after some of the world biggest stars stormed his concern as they stood in the crowd to listen to the Nigerian music star sing.
In October 2021, A$AP Rocky, Rihanna, and Alicia Keys attended a Wizkid concert at Los Angeles’ Novo Theater.
The likes of Kevin Hart, Wiz Khalia and Ben Simmons had earlier attended Wizkid’s concert at Wilten Theatre in Los Angeles.
Wizzy, as he is also called, sold out the O2 Arena twice in 2021; the first he sold out within 12 minutes, joining the likes of Beyonce, Alicia Keys, among others who had earlier achieved a similar feat.
Wizkid has paid his dues beyond the Nigerian entertainment industry to be celebrated across the world.
