one word - 2face



when Lil Wayne was at his peak, some people had the nerve to say he is better than 2pac..foreign collabos dont mean you are better than everybody, what is this slave mentality Nigerians have about foreign collabo sef. Wizkid is very good and is on his way to where 2face has been for years.

If i hear nfeni nbaga today or for instance i will still jump and shout come imagine wetin i go do if i hear african queen. I am yet to hear the 2face song that doesnt withstand the test of time...but its only Ojuelegba and AYO that is the wizkid songs likely to achieve that feat.

ASA's songs have been used as soundtrack in several American films and tv series but you dont hear people shouting that she is the best artiste out of naija.

This crap u wrote is an insult to the likes of 2face, Asa, TY Bello & Kush, and several others who made the industry what it is today


This is just like saying becos Taylor Swift is popping now then she is better than Tina Turner, Whitney Houston or Beyonce...abeg OP u should have several seats....foreign collabo is not the litmus test, nah slave mentality dey make u think say foreign collabo is the ultimate

You make sense bro

2face ko.


Who still remembers him? What song does he produce? Yoruba musicians like Sade Adu have won Grammys and are still respected outside of Nigeria.

Recently, a Yoruba singer Angélique Kidjo won a Grammy.

2face's fame was short and quick.
i still remembe him!

You forget Ejanla " D 'Banj' featured Snoop Dogg. He also sign to Good Music with Kanya West appearing as cameo in Oliver Twist which was the biggest hit of all time. Banga lee has performed on stage along all A-list US artistes in UN organised concert.


What of Seal & Sade Adu.

Just imagine! No respect anymore. He appeared on Drake's Billboard Chart and not America's Billboard Chart.
So guys like TuBaba, P-Square and other grandfathers of this industry are fools.
Thunder fire u.
I'm pretty sure Wizkid will disagree with u.

Are suffering from low self-esteem or what?? Hw can Nigeria's best act be someone who holds d umbrella for other int'l acts.

Until he wins a major int'l award based on his own work and/or creativity....there's notin to celebrate.
The only international award he is yet to be nominated for is the GRAMMY! he has been nominated for others and has won as many as possible. He is the only african based act to be nominated for BET Thrice is number.

Re: 'WIZKID Is The Best Artist Nigeria Has Ever Produced' - See My Reasons by Temysteve(m): 8:33pm On Jun 18, 2016
He has the best international recognition as an african based act, he may not be the Nigerian best artiste of all time but his recognition outside nigeria nd africa speaks a lot about his lucrative career more than any other artiste in Nigeria not even 2face, dbanj or psquare. He never lobbied for fame he achieved outside Nigeria, his music speaks for him and thats why the international artiste featured him.

CzarRex:
Cus he was featured by an american artist or went no1 means he's the best of all time



guy go and research pple like femi kuti, Seal, sade adu who have actually won Grammy's, who are more recognized than wizkid



no beef,you are unnecessarily overhyping the guy when he is just getting started,I don't think wizkid on his own can land a billboard US no 1 hit,not alone a top 40 hit,out of the numerous american musicians


wizkid x numbr 11th in world most searchd artist on google as of last week. Only hm as a nigerian i saw
