Wheezy...balling out of control. carry go babanla.



He was established and has won major awards long before that collaboration. Drake added to his pedigree? Yes, brought him to limelight? Naaaa.

Rilwayne001:


The limelight i meant in my earlier post is about his restriction to African music alone. No one knows him outside African till skepta featured him and Drake in the remix of Ojuelegba. It was because drake featured him in the award winning popular music (one dance) that made him more popular outside Africa. Tell me, how many interesting song has he sang so far this year that warrant the awards he's getting so far?

Certainly -without drake and other big names abroad to feature him again - his fame will come down abysmally because he doesn't really make good music on his own.

His collaboration with Drake brought him to limelight. Really Drake has got that Midas touch.

So your wish is for his fame to come down.

The young fella in his own Lane doing his thing, u also in yours. Why would u wanna sit and postulate when someone fame wld come down. Try putting that energy in your hustle.
Just a quick reminder, one dance was his brain child.

Support your own. If there was no wizkid there wouldn't be a one dance

400billionman:


What did you just say ?

Drake listened to OJUELEGBA and asked wizzy for a Remix featuring Drake and Skepta. Check google.

It was the Ojuelegba that opened the Drake collaborations leading to One dance. And if you are a music student, you will know that the lines in ONE DANCE were written by Wizkid.

Before the Drake collabos, Wizkid had already been noticed by Chris Brown a year ahead of Drake who took him for shows in different Aftican countries in 2015. Chris in an interview expressed his love for Wizkid single AZONTO FREESTYLE.. Chris further invited Wizkid for Europe and America tours in 2016.

Bro, the words you used in describing Wizkid are so mean. He is far above that class.

It is like saying Kanye West or Jay Z brought Don Jazzy to limelight..

9jaBloke:


Then you should edit your initial post to read "brought him to intercontinental/global limelight". Even at that, you'ldstill be wrong.


Wizkid won a MOBO award in 2011, a BET Award in 2012 and garnered consecutive nominations for Best African act at the MTV European music awards in 2011, 2012 and 2013. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Wizkid

So please come back and tell us exactly how Drake shot him to limelight.

Rilwayne001:

I have one request; all wizkid fans should go on twitter and make the hashtag #staryboy trend and make it clear to the world that our wizzy is the real staryboy and not american singer theweeknd. let's hold it down for our own before theweeknd steals what's his.
