Wizkid
Born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, he rose to fame with Holla At Your Boy in 2010 and has since won many awards, including the BET Award for Best International Act Africa in 2012 and MTV Europe Music Award for Best Worldwide Act.
The proclaimed StarBoy has been doing his thing on and off the record charts and was recently honoured with October 6 being etched as “Wizkid Day” in Minnesota – for being the first African artist to sell out the Skyway Theatre. Just last month, he partnered with Nike to produce the “StarBoy Jersey,” “a shirt that simultaneously speaks to his local pride and Naija’s cultural clout. It sold out within 10 minutes of its release on the sneaker giant’s site.
Before that, the popular singer was garnering accolades by being featured on tracks by some of the hottest on the scene right now such as Drake, Dancehall artist Kranium, British-Nigerian rapper Skepta, Davido and Olamide – just to name a few. The Nigerian singer and songwriter also signed a multi-album worldwide deal with Sony Music International and has been a Pepsi ambassador.
