Wizkid had a ground breaking 2015, and 2016, no doubt is looking good for him as well. US magazine FADER has just published a list of 12 innovative singers who have what they described as ‘the coolest’ sounds, and Nigeria’s Star Boy made the fifth position.
“Wizkid is already famous in his native Nigeria, but thanks to a couple clutch co-signs and Ojuelegba —his 2015-defining smash, named for a heaving Lagos suburb—he’s getting a global embrace,” the magazine wrote.
Last year, ‘Ojuelegba’ gained global recognition after Canadian rapper Drake dropped a surprise remix on his OVO Sound radio, and weeks later, Wizkid got profile in the GEN F segment of Fader magazine. In December, ‘Ojuelegba’ was named the 12th biggest song of the year.
Wizkid really is getting all the global recognition he deserves for all his hard work. Well done!
