Wizkid Defeat Davido Become The Best Artist In African by Alubarika1234(m): 6:29pm On Nov 13, 2017 |
Star singer Ayodeji Balogun aka Wizkid has defeated his
arch-rival Davido, to become the best African male artiste at

Sunday.
Wizkid’s award included, Artiste of the Year, for his song
“Come Closer’’, Song of the Year for the same song and

This win has once again renewed the battle of supremacy
between the two popular artistes and is coming shortly after
Davido edged Wizkid out at the 2017 MTV EMA by winning
the “Best African Act”.
Wizkid got a rare international recognition in 2016 after
he had a collaboration effort with American
international Drake with their Collabo song “One Dance
sold in 15 countries including U.S., U.K., Canada and
Australia.
Earlier this year, Wizkid became the first Afrobeat artist to
appear in the 2018 Guinness World Records for his
contribution to Drake’s hit song “One Dance’’.
In his acceptance speech, the Ojuelegba crooner thanked
2baba and DJ Jimmy Jatt for their contributions to the
African music landscape.
Wizkid, born on July 16, 1990, a song writer and a solo
artiste started his foray into music at the tender age of 11
with his band “Glorious Five’’ a group formed from a church
choir.
He however took the music world by storm with his all-time
hit track “Holla at your Boy’’ in 2010 and another hit track Ayo 2014 |
