From Ojuelegba streets to world stages: Wizkid’s rise to global stardom

Wizkid’s journey from the streets of Ojuelegba in Surulere, Lagos, to global music superstardom is a story of raw talent, persistence and perfect timing. Born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun in 1990, he started singing in church and recording in small Lagos studios as a teenager, dreaming of breaking out of his modest background. His big break came after he signed with EME Records and released Holla At Your Boy in 2010, a hit that made him a youth favourite and earned him the Next Rated award at the Headies.​ Over the next few years, he built a strong fan base with back to back singles and tours across Nigeria and the diaspora, setting himself up for a defining moment in his career. That moment was Ojuelegba, the reflective anthem inspired by his hustle in Surulere, which connected deeply with Nigerians at […]

2Baba: Burna Boy ahead of Wizkid, Davido locally and globally

Nigerian music legend 2Baba has hailed Burna Boy as the leading Afrobeats star of the moment, saying he currently operates on a different level from peers like Wizkid and Davido. Speaking on the ‘Mic On’ podcast, 2Baba said he enjoys music from all three but, if forced to choose, he sees Burna Boy as “on the top of the game right now.” He likened judging artists to comparing painters with different styles and stressed that such rankings are ultimately a matter of taste. He explained that his view is based on his understanding of the global music landscape rather than the artists’ personal wealth or private achievements, which he said he cannot measure. According to him, Burna Boy currently tops the chain not just in Nigeria but across Africa and even on the world stage. 2Baba added that there is […]

2Baba calls Wizkid and Fela comparisons ridiculous

Music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has dismissed the ongoing comparison between Wizkid and late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti as ridiculous. In a teaser from an upcoming episode of the Mic On podcast, 2Baba said it is disrespectful to Fela’s legacy and unfair to Wizkid to place both men side by side. He noted that each artiste should be judged within the context of his own era, style and impact. The debate intensified after Wizkid responded to criticism from Seun Kuti, Fela’s son, by claiming he is “bigger” than the Afrobeat pioneer. 2Baba stressed that Fela and Wizkid have made unique contributions to Nigerian music that cannot be measured on the same scale. He argued that constant comparisons ignore the different environments in which they created their work and add nothing useful to the conversation. He urged […]

GRAMMY 2026: I once thought Davido didn’t like me – Omah Lay

Afrobeats star Omah Lay has revealed that he once believed Davido did not like him, a misconception later cleared up before they created their Grammy‑nominated song “With You.” Speaking on the GRAMMY 2026 red carpet with OkayAfrica, Omah Lay said his perception changed after he watched a clip of Davido reacting warmly to his music at a time when he was going through a difficult period personally. “I was in the house, really, and I was going through it when I saw it, and I lost my mind,” he recalled. He admitted he had previously assumed there was tension between them. “It was the fact that I didn’t know Davido was like that. I thought we had a beef. I thought he didn’t like me,” he said. According to Omah Lay, once they finally connected, the misunderstanding disappeared quickly. “It […]

Mavo: I’m saving my best songs for the right time

Fast rising Nigerian Afrobeats act Marvin Oseremen Ukanigbe, popularly known as Mavo, says he is deliberately holding back many of his best songs until what he believes will be the right time to release them.​ The 23 year old singer, who has already worked with heavyweights like Wizkid, CKay and Davido, revealed in a recent interview that he has a large catalogue of unreleased music dating back to 2022 and 2023.​ “I feel like I’m so blessed, so it’s not something to be surprised about, but I have a lot of songs I haven’t put out,” he said, noting that he does not think he has released up to his “top 50” tracks yet. He described some of the unreleased records as songs he is convinced “are going to be good,” but which he is intentionally keeping.​ Mavo explained that […]

Stay true to Fela Kuti’s legacy, Yomi Fabiyi tells Wizkid

Actor Yomi Fabiyi has written an open letter to Wizkid, urging him not to erase the tattoo of Fela Kuti’s image on his body despite the recent controversy surrounding comparisons between the late icon and modern artists. He acknowledged Wizkid’s long‑standing celebration of Fela’s legacy, citing his appearances at Felabration and his positive remarks about the Afrobeat pioneer.​ Fabiyi reminded Wizkid that he represents a historic revolution in Nigerian and Afrobeat music, and encouraged him to “manage this storm very well” rather than react in a way that could be seen as turning his back on Fela. He described Fela as a symbol of resistance who gave voice to the voiceless, fought corruption and made sacrifices that helped shape Nigeria’s democracy.​ He praised Wizkid for doing more than many others to sustain Fela’s legacy, noting that performing at Felabration, tattooing Fela’s image […]

Music is about impact, not numbers – Jaywon

Afrobeats singer Jaywon has told young artists that the true value of music lies in its impact, not in streaming figures, charts or social media hype. He spoke in an Instagram post while reacting to recent online drama involving Seun Kuti and Wizkid.​ Jaywon lamented that many up‑and‑coming acts now equate success purely with numbers, PR and money to push their songs. He warned that believing high streams automatically make someone “the best artist in the world” shows a shallow understanding of what music really is.​ According to him, music should change minds and touch souls, leaving a legacy that outlives trends and online clout. He pointed to legends like Bob Marley and Fela Anikulapo‑Kuti as examples of artists whose songs remain timeless because of their message and impact, not just commercial success.​ Jaywon urged young creatives to focus on […]
