Wizkid (musician) Turns 31 Today!

Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun (born 16 July 1990), known professionally as Wizkid (sometimes stylized as WizKid), Wizzy, Big Wiz or Starboy, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter. He received several international music award nominations. He began recording music at the age of 11 and managed to release a collaborative album with the Glorious Five, a group he and a couple of his church friends formed. Wizkid signed a record deal with Empire Mates Entertainment (E.M.E) in 2009.

He rose to prominence after releasing "Holla at Your Boy", the lead single from his debut studio album, Superstar (2011). "Tease Me/Bad Guys", "Don't Dull", "Love My Baby", "Pakurumo", and "Oluwa Lo Ni" were also released as singles from the Superstar album. Ayo, his self-titled second studio album, was released in September 2014. It was supported by six singles: "Jaiye Jaiye", "On Top Your Matter", "One Question", "Joy", "Bombay", and "Show You the Money". Wizkid left E.M.E after his contract expired.

In 2016, Wizkid achieved international recognition following his collaboration with Drake on the global hit "One Dance", which reached number one in 15 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. He signed a multi-album deal with RCA Records in March 2017. His third studio album, Sounds from the Other Side, was released in July 2017. It serves as his major label debut and was primarily a Caribbean-influenced record. SFTOS was supported by five singles: "Daddy Yo", "Sweet Love", "Come Closer", "African Bad Gyal" and "Naughty Ride". Wizkid became the first Afrobeats artist to appear in the 2018 Guinness World Records for his contribution to "One Dance".

In 2019, he was featured on Beyoncé's project The Lion King: The Gift on the collaboration "Brown Skin Girl", which won him a Grammy Award for Best Music Video. His fourth album, Made in Lagos, was released in October 2020, to wide commercial success and acclaim.

Happy Friday my pipu, have a great weekend and beware of olosho

Happy Birthday To Him

31 years and he still looks like a little boy (stunted growth)...?

Well, I guess it's due to the effects of early (childhood) sex and drug/alcohol abuses.

Anyways, happy birthday to him.

He has made his mark in the music industry.

Baba nla don reach 31 like this? Omo!

This guy still looks like he's in his early twenties.

Babanla don dey old oh [code][/code]

Q

Talents, charm, hardwork, grace, appeal and connecting with the right people

Wizzy Baba nla

From Ojuelegba with the ghetto love behind him, the Blessed Daddy yo has kept Bad energy far away from himself and surrounded himself with Sweet love and No stress attached, His Smile made Drake Come Closer and cemented his Final status as a legend. Today the Wizkid's Fever is gonna be in town and all fans worldwide are going to gyrate and Jaiye jaiye.

Love and light!

When “Made in Lagos” dropped, I was one of them naysayers arguing crap at the beginning. However, my bro played this album on repeat 2 weeks straight and “Machala”infected me

Now weezy is my inspiration, my chargee, my wallpaper.

I’m OBO for life, and I forever remain loyal. but nowadays if I’m to chill with someone for a day, it’d be him.

(Listen to “Gyrate” every morning nd ur day be good)

HBD Original Starboy Gan Gan

Happy birthday Wizzy

Wizzy Babanla..

Happy birthday..

Happy birthday Ayodeji Balogun.

I've watched you grow from an irresponsible non-rent paying, smelly-pussy shaming, dead-beat teen dad into a Grammy award-winning, super-arrogant, international superstar with kids from three continents.

It's no feat to be the man you've become and it's been a great experience witnessing it all.

Live long and flourish.
