I saw a thread saying Wizkid should stop trying to break in to international market and should stick to his Afro sound, I just laughed cos if he knows where the streams are coming from he won’t say that, plus Wizkid ain’t trying to break in to any market, he is just evolving.
No artist has the pull powe Wizkid has, every song he’s featured is a hit, he dropped Soundman EP, a traditional Afro sound like a leaked song and it’s close to 100m combined streams with just 1 video.
Wizkid is the least artist that cares about streams or numbers right now.
Same Joro people called trash is what they are calling Wizkid’s last hit because they can’t live in denial anymore, Soco received same treatment, Ayo Album a full Afrobeats album received same treatment. Wizkid has learned not to pay attention to Nigerians, he just does his thing
If any artist tried what Wizkid did with Soundman, he/she will cry every night in his bedroom, who drops beautiful masterpiece like Jam, Cover me, Ease ur mind, Electric, Mine and turn his back on them like they dont matter? Same Burna y’all use to sub Wizkid dropped an EP...
with an International artist, I bet most people don’t even know he did. Wizkid’s talent, work rate, evolution and delivery ain’t questionable, because Burna is winning with traditional Afro sound doesn’t mean Wizkid should do the same, they have their ways of pleasing their...
.international and African audiences, Wizkid decided use a sword (2 sharp edges) to fight his battle while Burna decided to a cutlass (1 sharp edge) to fight his, everything doesn’t have to be competition, and stop policing people’s sound. Kizz Daniel listened to y’all, where...
...did that get him, his King Of Love album got swept under the rug like he dropped nothing.
Listen to Burna Outside, AG, TAT and you will notice the sound evolution, an artist can’t be boxed in one sound and expect it will bang.
MIL will be worth it, just wait for it.
Gracias.
