PrinceOfLagos:
Dis tems is so pretty

Yes, she is.

When you are big, you are big.
You don't need to go about paying other influential artistes to jump on your song and give it a boost.

Made in Lagos is the best Nigerian album and little wonder the Made in Lagos Tour is madly successful and shattering records.

Big Wiz is not your regular Nigerian noise maker artiste. Dude was able to project ahead of time and while others were at home singing trash and beefing each other, Wiz was grinding on a low and hit the international scene.

Wiz single-handedly gave Tems a platform, a shoulder to lean on and a grammy nomination. The first ever for a Nigerian female artiste. That is more than Wiz giving Tems Ten Million Naira.

Proudly Wizkid FC.

See you at the Grammys!

Please where is slawormir? Ever since EFCC arrested those brothers in Edo State last week, we haven't heard from the popular 'damn niggarr' crooner. Nairaland, Edo State Chapter, should please help us confirm if all is well with the self-proclaimed 'weed smoker and pussy banger'.
Thanks.

Una see O2 arena yesterday...

E mad �..

Big wiz fl

Another one for the starboy. Unlike those other two ewus (fake odogwu and froggy), Wizkid does not make noise. Even though this guy Wizkid is an afonja, I really love his style. He is the best out here in terms of impact, success and swag. The only African artist who can sell out o2 arena in minutes, no be beans. Davido and Burna still dey learn work.

If dem do DNA test, Wizzy probably has some Igbo DNA. Otherwise, how can you explain his stupendous success?

Wizkid is overated jur
