Agreed wizkid can act like a kid at times but you can't deny the fact that he is talented, kind of reminds me of Justin Bieber in his early years...

Asa, not Wizkid, is the first Nigerian to be featured of the Billboard Charts.

Dr Alban's It's My Life was number 3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music Club Play chart, number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart, number 28 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 88 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1992!

Re: Wizkid Featured On The Billboard Charts by naptu2: 11:25am On Apr 08, 2016
I suspect that Babatunde Olatunji was the first nigerian to be featured on Billboard charts. His album, Drums Of Passion was number 13 on the charts in 1960 (Babatunde Olatunji also won a Grammy Award). He said that he didn't make any money from that album until he met a US lawyer who helped him regain the rights to the album 20 years later.

no bro.
Wizkid is a sold out act in africa..he deserves at least 30 seconds on that song..who the hell is kyla? But she sang well and delivered.

I think drake showed he dosent hold him in high regard.to relegate him to a background 10 seconds auto tune loop.
We need to stop playing second place man.

you dont av to be sincere with me, be sincere with yourself. if u were an international artiste, would u rather do a full verse or a 'second hook'?

A full verse. Bt u don't get to choose the role u play in a song.

Wizkid is not regarded highly, mayb cuz he's not a US-based musician. The track One Dance is a hit. The track was unexpected. Wizkid got more hype in that track than Drake and Kyla. Wizkid did a full verse in R. Kelly in I Just Want To Thank You, and he even back R. Kelly in d song outro. All diz foreign Artistes should learn from R. Kelly.
But c'mon. For someone who sang less than 10 seconds in low tune, Wizzy killed it.

To be frank, Skepta made that Ojuelegba remix, general folks were foaming about Drake's verse that didn't gel with the subject matter, completely missing Skepta's verse.

I think it's cos most of them probably don't understand what Skepta was talking about or can't relate to the experience.

Apparently, according to him, on the interview he did with Pharrell on iHeart radio, that's favourite tune last year, hence he got Drake on it. He should be on Drake's new album and I believe Drake is on his album as well.

Anyway, I'll like to see Skepta, Wizkid, and Tinie Tempah on the same track. Skepta and Tinie have never been on a track together though the both of them have done tunes with almost everyone. And since Wizkid has a management deal in the UK with Disturbing London Records owned by Tinie and his cousin, Dumi - it will be a good look.

It would be a good look. The thing go sweet-o. Plus, Drake is also signed to Skepta's Boy Btter Know label, so that should be interesting...

Lol.

Old hag, Linda, who make a career off gossiping and profiting off fake news and fabricated tosh about people's private lives is a culture vulture. Without these "celebs", she won't have a career.

Now that she's 49 and has ripped the uneducated sheeple - she needs to grow up, start acting her age, and start doing proper journalism.

If I were Wizkid, I will get someone to beat the brakes off her arse and tell her to go blog about it loool.
