Wizkid has excelled as a lead artist but Nigerians keep forgetting his brilliant side as a featured artist. He gets featured for his star power and he duly delivers, but some definitely stand out more than others

We list our top @wizkidayo featured songs in this THREAD 👇🏾
10. Reminisce - Eleniyan

Just as the Sarz's beat bangs out with vicious authority, Reminisce gets vicious with introductory bars. Then comes the moment that undercuts as beautiful synergy between Reminisce and Wizkid.

What a banger that year 🔥🔥
9. CDQ - Nowo Soke

Masterkraft did 90% of the work with that beat - we know o. But then, Wizkid did 9% and CDQ just had to do 1% or get beaten by a mob.
8. DJ Maphorisa - Soweto Baby

Wizkid’s impact was so big on this South African song that it became a hit in Nigeria.
Then, its beat birthed another hit by Junior Boy. All Wizkid had to do was very simple; craft the most eclectic opening few lyrical moments.
7. MI Abaga - Fast Money, Fast Cars

Okay, hate us if you want, but you can’t rate Wizkid as a featured artist without this beautiful moment on a Kraftmatiks-produced Hip-Hop banger. From the intro, everyone asked, ‘Who owns that baby-ish voice?
6. Runtown - Lagos To Kampala

Like ‘Eleniyan,’ people mostly remember this song for what Wizkid did.
“Even Solo tell me to say I nor go blow…” became one of the earliest moments of die-hard stanning from Wizkid FC.
5. Jayru - Familiarity

Wizkid might have had a hit before this song, but it was one of the biggest songs of the earliest stages of his career. In fact, most people think ‘Familiarity’ is Wizkid’s song.
4. Shaydee - Won Gbo Mi

Won Gbo Mi’ might house Wizkid’s best verse after what he did on ‘Body’ - off the Empire Mates State of Mind.
It gets to a point on ‘Won Gbo Mi,’ that you are forced to ask if Wizkid is going this hard because Shaydee is his guy.
3. Maleek Berry - The Matter

Guys, this was an unlikely song that became a hit. Maleek Berry played DJ Khaled and had a hit before he became known to the Nigerian mainstream as an artiste. This was all thanks to Wizkid’s flow scheme and catchy lines.
2. Samklef - Molowo Noni

This is one of Wizkid’s finest moments as an artiste. This was his show of range and his ultimate sacrifice to the Italian gods of versatility. This cycle repeated itself eight years later with Rema on ‘Why.’
1. Illbliss - Many Men

A lot of people will question why this song is number one and that’s very simple; the beat was set-up against Wizkid. Yet, Baba Bolu excelled with a rare vim and zen. His energy exuded one of a young, hungry artist with something to prove
