Wizkid continues to break records, and his smash track “Essence” has accomplished a first for African music.
With his collaboration with Tems, “Essence,” the Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and performer Ayodeji Balogun, better known by his stage name Wizkid, has reached a new professional milestone. It is the first African song to set an unheard-of record in the US.
After selling over 3 million copies in the US alone, the hit song “Essence” is now officially the first and only African music to ever receive a 3X platinum certification from the RIAA. Big Wiz has demonstrated that with good music, the globe will always tune in, as seen by the records “Made In Lagos” and the smash song “Essence” have continued to shatter.
The singer’s effort, “More Love Less Ego,” aims to meet and exceed the standards set by the Popsi himself on his fourth studio album, “More Love Less Ego.”
The Afrobeats megastar has other ideas he’d like to pursue besides music.
Ayodeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid, is a multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, and performer from Nigeria. He has stated that he has interests outside of music.
The Grammy-nominated musician provided extensive insight into his work, family, future plans, and other relevant subjects during an interview with the American fashion and entertainment publication Flaunt. The father of three revealed that he has a talent for fashion and family, which he would love to fully explore, when asked about additional goals he hasn’t yet achieved. He stated:
More music. I don’t know if I’ll ever stop doing that. That’s what I love most. Career-wise, let’s see where else the music takes me. I really like clothes and fashion, so I’ll definitely be doing something big in that regard, just exploring my options and interests at the moment when it comes to that. There are some personal things that I’d like to accomplish for myself, at home, and with the family too.
On November 11, 2022, the heavyweight singer is set to release his fifth studio album, “More Love, Less Ego,” a follow-up to the critically acclaimed and commercially successful “Made in Lagos.” The album, which has thirteen songs, features heavyweights like Skillibeng, Shenseea, Ayra Starr, Skepta, Naira Marley, and Don Toliver.
Burna Boy became the first and only African musician to accomplish a new achievement, continuing his streak of record-breaking on the international stage.
Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning singer and songwriter, just accomplished something that has never before been done in African music. The entertainment portal 626blaze is always lauding the enormous successes of afrobeats around the world.
The great singer that never gets tired of placing Africa and the afrobeats sound on the map established a new record with the gold RIAA certification received by ‘Last Last.’
‘Last Last’ has currently sold over 500,000 units in the US alone, and it is the third solo song by the singer to reach this record. Burna Boy receives the RIAA gold certification for his solo tracks “Last Last,” “On The Low,” and “Ye,” making him the first and only African musician to do so.

Tiwa Savage responds to her fans with something more meaningful after delivering the stunning song Jaiye Foreign with Zinoleesky. She collaborates with the current rave king Asake for her newest release, Loaded.
Asake, on the other hand, teams up with Tiwa Savage for “another one” (in DJ Khaled’s voice), fresh off the success of his several hit songs and, of course, his critically acclaimed debut album, Mr. Money With The Vibe.
‘Loaded,’ Tiwa’s second release of the year, was produced by Magicsticks, Asake’s right-hand man. The song is enhanced by an appropriate music video helmed by TG Omori, the typical suspect.
The much awaited duet would delight the afrobeats singer’s followers.
The official release date for Tiwa Savage’s collaboration with Asake has been announced by the talented Nigerian singer, songwriter, and performer Tiwatope Savage, better known by her stage name Tiwa Savage.
The vocalist is preparing to release a new smash after releasing “Jaiye Foreign,” which was her debut song for 2022 and included superstar street-hop singer Zinoleesky.

In the intriguing teaser, the gifted singer made digs at his estranged record company.
Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, better known by his stage name Mohbad, is a popular Nigerian rapper and singer. He has teased a new song called “tiff,” which could be a diss track for his estranged record company Marlian Music.
Through the record label’s owner, Naira Marley, the powerful street-hop artist and rapper recently gave notice of termination for alleged unpaid royalties over a three-year period and physical assault.
Mohbad provided a preview of his next single “Tiff” on November 6, 2022, even though nothing official has been said since the announcement. In the song, Mohbad, an abstract interpretation of the word “thief,” made fun of Marlian Music, Naira Marley, and possibly even label signees Zinoleesky and C-Blvck.

Released through Roc Nation Records/Def Jam Recordings/Hollywood Records is the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Music From and Inspired By soundtrack, which was created by Ryan Coogler, Ludwig Göransson, Archie Davis, and Dave Jordan. The American premiere of Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which was produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore, takes place on November 11, 2022.
Lift Me Up, the lead single from Rihanna, made history by becoming the most added song in U.S. radio history. It also attracted the biggest single-day audience and the most spins ever.
Over 40 international artists recorded songs for The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Music From and Inspired By soundtrack in Lagos, Nigeria, Mexico City, London, and Los Angeles. Rihanna, Burna Boy, Rema, Tems, Fireboy DML, OG DAYV, Future, CKay, PinkPantheress, E-40, and many more are among the featured musicians.
The score and the original songs on the soundtrack were written and produced by Oscar, Grammy, and two Emmy winner Ludwig Göransson. He was particularly prepared to oversee all sections of the soundscape due to his significant experience working as a producer of musicians (Childish Gambino, Adele, Haim, Justin Timberlake), as well as scoring movies and TV shows (Black Panther, Creed, The Mandalorian).
Coogler and Göransson set out to create an avant-garde soundscape for their fourth film project, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, where Göransson claims, “The songs and score are one.” With Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the two artists finally brought their long-discussed method to life. They had been talking about it ever since they were students at the USC Film School.
Over 2500 hours were spent by Göransson in what turned out to be a major labor of love, involving six studios, three continents, and five different countries. The audience will hear more than 250 musicians, two orchestras, two choirs, and more than 40 vocalists throughout the entire movie.
Recording sessions were organized in Lagos, Nigeria, Mexico City, and Abbey Road Studios in London because the plot is influenced by Mesoamerican and Nigerian traditions. Producers collaborated with well-known musicians from Lagos, including Tems, who is now a center for musical creativity. The soundtrack also includes work from up-and-coming rappers and musicians from Mexico City, such as the Mayan-only rapper Pat Boy.
To investigate and examine Mayan music, Göransson collaborated closely with music archeologist Alejandro Rojas while in Mexico City. The soundscape’s composition included instruments from Mesoamerican and Nigerian civilizations.
Wizkid has moved the release date of his album “More Love Less Ego,” so fans will have to wait a little longer, but as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. See the updated date below.
Despite not being announced, the album is currently set to release on November 14th, as indicated by the date on the version that can be pre-ordered on Apple Music.
It appears that the project’s release date was moved from its previous date of the 4th of November to the 14th in sympathy with fellow megastar and colleague, Davido, over the loss of his son, Ifeanyi. Wizkid is known for moving release dates, and he has already moved the release of this album twice in the past. This action is implied by the fact that on the day the news first broke, Wizkid and Burna Boy both erased tweets advertising their respective ventures. Wizkid has since since not posted about his new album with a message of many sorrowful emojis being the sole item on his Instastory so far.
Wizkid reclaims the top place on Apple Music in less than 24 hours.
Ayodeji Balogun, better known by his stage name Wizkid, debuted the lead single from his upcoming album “More Love; Less Ego” this morning, October 29. It is titled “Money & Love.”
After spending nearly two weeks at the top of the charts, Young John’s “Xtra Cool” is knocked down by this achievement.
You may remember that Wizkid’s initial try at Amapiano, “Bad To Me,” held the top spot for a while before Asake, whose album, MMWTV, has dominated those charts for more than a month, reclaimed it.
However, the release date of Wizzy’s new album, “More Love; Less Ego,” is set for November 5, 2022.
