Burnaboy and Angelique Kidjo loosing their Grammy nominations tonight is a good news for African music, we're about to witness a culture shift, in the sense that you don't need to sing about "slavery in Africa" to cajole the Grammy judges anymore.
Wizkid gave Olamide, Burnaboy, Fireboy, Oxlade, Ckay, Tiwa Savage, Naira Marley, Mayorkun, Tems, Buju, Runtown, Reekardo banks... their first ever O2 Arena appearance.
And you wonder why he's the industry popsy ๐ฆ
Wizkid had 80% of American A-list artists and celebrities present in his US concerts, the likes of Rihanna, A$ap Rocky, Kelvin Hart, Alicia keys, Swizz beat, J Balvin, Wiz Khalifa, ๐, Summer Walker, Sweetie were all present to witness the Greatness of that boy from Ojuelegba.
People crying about โlyricsโ while Rema has mastered the art of melody making and sound perfection he has finally hacked it and joined Wizkid on this table. Melody makers can never miss, no matter how people cry about their lyrics
My MONEY & LOVE made you BALANCE even though you're BAD TO ME, with 2 SUGAR EVERYDAY i SLIP N SLIDE DEEP into you holding my FLOWER PADS and make you shout WOW apply PRESSURE but your PLENTY LOVING is SPECIAL like FRAMES to my heart. ๐
#MLLE
, A love letter from Wizkid.
If making Wizkid was that easy Banky W would be making more than 200 Wizkids per month even Don jazzy wan try make him own Wizkid but na indian version baba go make ๐๐
The reason Olamide is the most successful rapper in Nigeria is because he stopped rapping and switched to singing, hardcore rap is dead if you can't add melodies to spice up your game just find a new profession, Blaqbonez and Ladipoe understands the game.
It's understandable if you're hating on Wizkid cuz it's nothing new but if you're hating on Carter efe cuz he sang for Wizkid you need to go for mental and spiritual check up and I'm very serious.
"if na davido carter sing for he for fon dash am 10 million naira"
E no hard u sef enter studio sing for davido make e dash u 10 million naira, abi u no like money?
โFinishedโ Wizkid equals the highest charting album on US Apple Music chart with just 4 tracks EP ๐๐
Youโll learn to never disrespect una popcy again.
Asake sold out 5k capacity O2 Academy Brixton 3 times that's a total of 15k tickets remember it took Burna boy 8 months to sell 13k O2 Arena tickets but his fans said he took Asake international. ๐คก๐คก
@preshgaza
This is why we need to thank Wizkid for saving Afrobeats not every artist can sound good on live performances like they they do on recordings.
Twitter ng: Wizkid doesn't put young artists on
Wizkid: Brings Fireboy, Ckay, Bella, Tems Buju Oxlade Blaqbonez Joeboy on stage to perform
Burna boy: Performs without bringing any young artist on stage
Twitter ng: He doesn't need help from anybody, he can do it on his own

Dear
@wizkidayo
we have been patient with you for almost 2 years, we now give you an ultimatum of one week to release new music or risk facing the wrath of Wizkid FC. Thanks.
Signed: Wizkid FC
See how Wizkid is doing his album roll out gradually without clout chasing, false giveaways and unnecessary drama, mans just serving looks and drips, studio equipment pictures with a lil snippet yet the whole internet is anticipating and going crazy. This is GOAT mode ๐
Summary of Burnaboy's career.
-Signed 360 deal with Atlantic where he only gets 30% royalties on his songs, tours, concerts and merchandise.
-Toni Braxton takes 60% share of last last due to samples right.
Now Imagine if Fela family charges him for every sample he did.
Tundeednut spent his whole life shading wizkid on IG just for him to present him an Headies award tonight.
God really set a table Infront of Wizkid's enemies.
Why is the whole twitter ng pretending like Ogb cultist didn't just sing a 30bg anthem for davido?
Davido hasn't sent him any money or appreciate him, yet no one has dragged him or say anything.
It's clear and obvious now that Wizkid's name is what gives y'all clout.
Tems hasn't posed with her Grammy plaque since she won, that's how you know proper superstars she has that Wizkid aura, not like a certain guy that drinks water with plaque and spam pictures every 3 market days ๐
I remember when Wizkid intentionally delayed his O2 Arena concert in 2020 just for Burna boy to sell his tickets yet he couldn't sell out despite reducing his prices now Wiz don announce London Stadium e remain who go buy odogwu ticket like this ๐
Wizkid really shifted More Love Less Ego to November 11th to commiserate with Davido, don't let fans internet bants f00l you, these people are closer in real life than you think.

Wizkid is the realest songwriter I've ever seen, his lyrics are mostly about what's currently going on in his life he doesn't fake lyrics to sell narratives, when he was still in shita he sang about life struggles rn you can't expect someone who flys private jet to do the same.
Glad Wizkid prioritized longevity over numbers on Made In Lagos, he could have added singles like Joro, Soco, Fever to the album just to rack up numbers instead he went for 18 brand new classics.
Sir/Daddy Wizkid becomes the first African artist to fully sell out Madison square garden within 1 month ๐ณ
-No covering of seats with canopy
-No performing in darkness like evil spirit.
Proper sold out show!! ๐
@davido
When other artists are getting Grammys, Billboard Hot 100 entries, Back to back sold out shows, Dominating Charts globally you shouldn't expect them to congratulate you for getting featured on a soundtrack alongside some unknown artists. This isn't 2017 dawg.
Davido fans have released more than 5 songs since carter efe sang machala for Wizkid and non of it charted on Ketu top 200 not to talk of Apple music.
I don't even know who is more finished between obiyo and 30bg.
In 2022 alone Wizkid has won more than 30 Awards with the way things are going we might have to borrow davido's Award cabinet he no kuku dey use am again.
Burnaboy was featured on a song that dropped earlier this morning and the song isn't charting in any country on apple music, it's clear and obvious that he doesn't have any artistic influence, he's getting carried by excessive record label promotions.
After Naija Wizkid FC roasted Soulja boy on Twitter, American Wizkid fans went on to cook him under shaderoom's post on Instagram.
Don't play with the power of Wizkid FC, a Global fanbase!
Glad Wizkid didn't show up at Ghana last night, organizers had the chance to host a global superstar and planed the event like it's shatta wale they're hosting.
@deffonotchaur
Well Amber Heard and Johnny Depp case has taught us that not every rape allegation is true, let the authorities take charge, Thomas Partey is still innocent until he's proven guilty.
Funny how More Love Less Ego is currently getting carried by Wizkid's star power, no big name feature, no promo yet, wait till proper promotion start after Christmas and watch the Album start peaking on charts.
A burna boy feature added nothing to victony's career meanwhile a Wizkid feature took Tems from an upcoming artist to a global superstar, it's clear and obvious that burna has zero influence outside atlantic records heavy pr and payola don't ever mention his name near Wizkid
Burnaboy released an Album just 2 months ago and only 1 song on the album is charting in top 20 of NG Apple Music.
It's safe to say Love Damini is the worst Afrobeats album by an A-list Nigerian artist ever, right?
Accor Arena said Wizkid's concert is sold out but u wey dey iyana ipaja u never sabi wetin u go chop this night dey follow them argue... Your papa get liver o ๐๐
Wait !!..
When way say "Afrobeats to the world" do you think were talking about charting in musically irrelevant countries like Ecuador, Singapore, Myanmar or Lithuania? Lmao ๐
We are actually talking about having COMPLETE DOMINANCE in the biggest Music market in the world,
This same Roza girl makes tweets like.
"I see one FC today, omoh I dash am 2k, people dey suffer o"
You can't be a sales girl and be broke shaming people online and you expect them not to open your yansh at any give opportunity.
Despite dropping in November Wizkid's 'More Love Less Ego' makes it to Rolling Stone's Best Albums of 2022 at
#26
.
The only African album on the list ๐๐ฆ
