You are the ignorant clown here kiddo... Burna is the only African who has sold out multiple arenas in Netherlands (Ziggo dome and Ahoy Rotterdam)in minutes... Accor arena in paris twice , Hollywood bowl in LA, MSG in New York, Partille arena in sweden, Barclays arena and 2 other arena in Germany... to name a few...

Apart from 02 arena, mention one arena that has a capacity of over 10K that Wizkid has sold out in US or Europe or even UK (where Burna has almost sold out the AO arena -21K cap at Manchester)


Your response would show that you belong in a circus !

Star boy been making records and he's not even announcing it unlike that other guy jumping up and down showing receipt of items purchased
WizKid show off more, but the media doesn't carry it because his show off is boring.

Just be happy for all of them for helping out with the image of Nigeria.

Davido is busy showing shopping receipts, but Wizkid is busy showing Grammys and album x2 Platinum certificates. Later one mumu will have the guts to compare OBO with Wizkid. Wizkid is greater than Davido, no be his mate at all.

On March 3, 2022, Nigerian singer, Wizkid's 'Essence' got certified double platinum in the US. This comes after it became the first Nigerian song to be certified platinum in the US.

On September 2, 2021, Nigerian superstar, Wizkid's groundbreaking single, 'Essence' was certified Gold in the US.

An album or single is certified platinum when it moves the equivalent of two million physical sales in the US.

On October 5, 2021, it was reported that 'Essence,' Wizkid and Tems' summer banger has been certified platinum in the US. It also becomes the first African song to hit that milestone.

This was revealed by Charts Data, via its Twitter account.

To be clear, this is the version that features only Tems, and peaked at No. 54 on the Billboard Hot 100, not the version which features Justin Bieber, and has since peaked at No. 10 on the same chart.

And someone else is chest beating with shopping receipt.

Wiz makes his art make the noise, while someone will have to pay publicist to show of his cars, jewelry’s and receipt

The adage has always been right, “Doers don’t make noise”

Davido was actually promoting Puma..

That store was Puma store..

Make una dey calm down..

The way you guys demarket your stars is astounding. Since Yorubas has been mocking other tribes saying na them be afrobeat, go and check your musicians numbers and views, it has decreased drastically. Learn humility and stop the demarketing.
It's shocking how you managed to bring tribalism into this. Did any part of my post have to do with tribes? It shows you are a very tribalistic person, and tribalism has eaten deep in your system. Are the 2 singers not both Yorubas, did I not make reference to achievements not tribe? If you don't have anything intelligent to say, then it's better to remain silent than to be talking gibberish nonsense.

Just look at the flimsy excuse you gave.

Davido is known for showing off periodically, so why are you sounding like he is new to the act. It’s a norm for him.

Showing of receipt to promote Puma?

Sigh….
