Wizkid, a Nigerian musician, made an announcement that many did not see coming. In an Instastory post, the entertainer revealed that he would be embarking on a joint tour with a colleague, David Adeleke aka Davido, after completing his current More Love, Less Ego (MLLE) tour.
Wizkid went on to urge afrobeats fans to save their money in anticipation of what will be a first-of-its-kind event.
DJ Chicken, a controversial disc jockey, criticizes the popular Afrobeat musician Wizkid while praising the upcoming songwriter Mohbad.

This comes following the release of Mohbad’s new song ‘Feeling Better’ which seems to be gaining traction.
The DJ took to his Instagram story to share a video where he emphasized the talent of the ex-Marlian Records signee.
According to DJ Chicken, Mohbad is going to be the new household name in the entertainment industry, unlike veteran singers like Wizkid whose glory is dead.

In his words, “Mohbad or whatever you are called, that song you dropped go blow everywhere pass all those celebrity wey their glory don die. You don pursue all of them even Wizkid wey hin glory don die tey tey.”
Internationally renowned singer Wizkid Balogun announces free concerts performance while elaborating on his claim that Lagos will host his final performance in 2022.

Recall that the singer once declared that his December performance in Lagos would be his last.

During his concert on Christmas Eve, Wizkid eased the tension in the air by stating his actual intention.
According to Wizzy, he meant it in a good way and because of his love for Lagos fans, he intends to give them a free show henceforth.
In his words, “I have to start finishing my statements cos dem dey misquote me. What I really meant was, with the kind of love you all show me; it is very unfair to do shows around the world and come back to make you guys pay to wacth me. I wanna make a promise tonight; this will be the last time you will pay to see me.”

The Afrobeats Superstar has a stunning new appearance that fits him.
Ayodeji Balogun, better known by his stage name Wizkid, is an accomplished singer, songwriter, and performer from Nigeria. His new hairstyle has surprised many.
The Afrobeats artist, a well-known fashion enthusiast, often prefers to keep his hair simple, but this time, the father of four had made the decision to entirely change things up. As a featured act on Canadian heavyweight rapper and singer Drake’s “One Dance,” Wiz recently added another achievement to his resume by becoming the first Nigerian artist to receive a diamond certification in the US. Wiz manages to stay in the news all the time.
The singer, who is already in town, made his first public appearance with his new hairstyle in Accra while clubbing with some friends, including Ghanaian singing sensation King Promise. He is scheduled to perform at the Accra Sports Stadium in Ghana on December 10, 2022.
As was to be expected, fans have expressed their opinions about the new hairstyle on social media.
Estimates of Wizkid’s earnings from his “More Love, Less Ego” performance at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in the US.
At his “More Love Less Ego” concert at the Madison Square Garden (MSG) in the US, Wizkid gave a performance that will be remembered in history, and reports about how much money he made from the event have surfaced.
On November 16, 2022, the starboy had a performance in front of a crowd of 20,000 people in New York, USA. It was said that the artist sold over 12,000 tickets for the event at a price of $77 each, making the performance one to remember.
The artist reportedly earned more over $1 million from the single-day performance, according to rumors. In the days ahead, the singer would face a fresh obstacle. Burna Boy took the stage before Wizkid, and it was revealed how much he reportedly made as well. Wizkid is not the first African performer to appear at the venue.
Wizkid, the largest bird, has accomplished a great accomplishment in his career by becoming only the second African musician to do so this in history.
Wizkid, the world’s largest eagle, broke this record in the Netherlands, becoming only the second African artist in history to do so. Prior to his Made In Lagos event, which is slated for Thursday, November 24, 2022, in Amsterdam, Wizkid has successfully sold out the 17,000-seat Ziggo Dome.
Ziggo Dome posted an official statement about this accomplishment on social media on November 22, 2022. Since the release of his fifth studio album, “More Love Less Ego,” Big Wiz has also sold out the Madison Square Garden in New York, the United States, achieving yet another historic milestone.
It’s wonderful to see the duo continue to set the bar high for other contemporary African artists.
Wizkid, a legendary heavyweight singer from Nigeria, has partnered Burna Boy in producing another epic moment in the annals of African music.
Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning singer and performer, sold out his “One Night in Space event” at Madison Square Garden in New York on Thursday, April 28, 2022, making it a historic accomplishment for African and Nigerian music.
After accomplishing that feat, Wizkid, an Afrobeats artist, joined him on top of the podium yesterday, November 16, 2022, to sell out the arena’s 20,789 seats, making them the only Nigerian and African artists to have done so.
We have addressed concerns about Wizkid not receiving a Grammy Award nomination before the 2023 ceremony.
One of the biggest exports from Africa, Wizkid, was conspicuously absent from the Recording Academy’s complete list of candidates, which was announced on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, in advance of the legendary 65th edition of the renowned Grammy Awards.
The artist Big Wiz did not release any projects during the period of eligibility for the Grammy awards, which led to numerous doubts being raised on social media as people tried to comprehend why he had been omitted.
What Time Frame Are Grammy Awards Eligible?
The Recording Academy, which oversees the Grammy Awards, states that the term of eligibility for this prestigious award runs from Friday, October 1, 2021, through Friday, September 30, 2022. This means that only those works or endeavors that are released during this time frame are eligible for consideration for the 65th edition.
The song “More Love Less Ego” by Wizkid wasn’t published until November 11th, 2022, therefore even while it isn’t eligible for the Grammy Awards in 2023, it might still be nominated for the 66th edition in 2024.
“Something must kill a man,” a wise man once said. That thing is bumbum for Wizkid. Wizkid’s latest album, More Love, Less Ego, is heavy on the seduction and follows up on his acclaimed 2020 album, Made in Lagos. Other musicians would be influenced by the demands of winning a Grammy and the Song of the Summer award, but Wizkid appears firmly set in his “no stress” ethos.
Wizkid doesn’t aim to surpass himself on his latest album, but is that truly a good thing?
These are the initial impressions we had after hearing each song on More Love, Less Ego for the first time.
Money & Love
From Sweet One on 2017’s Sounds From the Other Side to Reckless on 2020’s Made in Lagos, Wizkid has a history of producing strong album openers. Money & Love, the first track on the new album, is a strong start from Big Wiz. Wizkid establishes the framework for his next album by singing about his sex game and cash account while mentioning all the Bujus he is familiar with.
Money & Love isn’t particularly innovative, but that doesn’t make it a poor song. It’s basically Wizkid taking a cruise, as he does throughout the entire album.
Balance
Balance has been played four times, and each time I dozed off. But sadly, I never managed to come up with anything that stuck. Balance might someday join my list of favorite Wizkid songs, but for now, nothing will do.
Bad to Me
When Wizkid released Bad to Me back in September [2022], I didn’t like it like I didn’t like most of his lead singles (remember Smile with H.E.R?). The singles from Wizkid have a tendency to grow on you when you least expect it.
Bad to Me is a wonderful party opener that will get everyone pumped up in the club and taps into the amapiano sound that Nigerians have refused to abandon. It’s not the best Wizkid lead single, but it’s also not the worst (Daddy Yo will take that spot).
Sugar (featuring Ayra Starr)
Get ready to be stunned by 2 Sugar, my darling, if you thought Wizkid and Ayra Starr would attempt to recreate the magic of Wizkid and Tems on Essence. Even though Wizkid performs the verses on 2 Sugar, Ayra Starr is the star of the show.
In contrast to Essence’s summer love segment, 2 Sugar emphasizes setting boundaries and avoiding letting negative energy disrupt your inner peace. This song, which features Ayra and Wizkid, will essentially make you want to unwind, sink into the positive energy, and tell the negative energy to stay far away.
Everyday
I never imagined combining the names of Wizkid and Maya Angelou, yet here we are. The great poet opens Everyday with a heartfelt monologue about love before Wizkid enters to sing about challenges that everyone, famous or not, can identify with.
From the songs to the background “Yebo” chants, every day is sheer pleasure. Among the songs on the record, this one is arguably the most reflective.
Slip N Slide (featuring Skillibeng and Shenseea)
Wizkid is at his horniest in Slip N Slide. Wizkid goes all out with all the fornication vibes you can think of, dropping lines like, “24 days we dey fuck with no brakes,” with the help of Jamaican performers Skillibeng and Shenseea. Exactly 24 days? What kind of agbo are you drinking, Ayodeji? I merely need a friend.
Slip N Slide would be a wonderful addition to my sex soundtrack. But I don’t have one since I don’t fornicate like the rest of you do.
Deep
I admire sincerity, and on Deep, Wizkid is open and honest about wanting your body rather than your affection. If Slip N Slide was caught for adultery, Deep was caught for the enticing dancing and whining that would eventually result in the pant coming off.
Flower Pads
Wizkid uses the lyrics of Flower Pad to declare to the world that he enjoys a little bit of cunnilingus, just like Harry Styles did on Watermelon Sugar. Wizkid once again demonstrates his ability to make baby-making music by encouraging his partner to “wrap their legs around his neck,” and I’m fully here for it.
PS: The Spanish at the song’s conclusion somehow makes it 1000 times more sexy.
Wow (featuring Skepta and Naira Marley)
One of my favorite musical collaborations right now features Skepta and Wizkid. These two have given us back-to-back smashes since Energy and Made in Lagos’ Longtime, and Wow is no exception. However, despite Wiz and Skepta’s and their collaboration on the Wow, the song’s beat and flow have a Rexxie-produced Naira Marley jam-like quality to them.
Having said that, I feel confident boarding a song featuring Wizkid, Naira Marley, and Skepta. Choo! Choo! Choo!
Pressure
One of my favorite songs on the album is Pressure, a jovial bop. The music thumps. The sound he makes just following the chorus slaps, “beep beep beep.” His singing-talking performance in the second verse is shocking. Damn, this song slaps in every direction, and I just have to give it tenss overall.
Plenty Loving
Wizkid once again incorporates amapiano on Plenty Loving. Actually, I think I like this song better than Bad to Me. Perhaps it’s because Plenty Loving is still new or because it contains a hint of the distinctive Wizkid sax that made Made in Lagos such a smash hit.
Special (featuring Don Toliver)
How should I put this? Special sounds Mid AF for a song with Don Toliver and produced by Juls. Perhaps Special will grow on me, but for now I’m skipping it because it’s not providing what it should.
Frames (Who’s Gonna Know)
The album’s 40+ minute duration is perfectly wrapped up by Frames (Who’s Gonna Know), in which Wizkid forgoes seduction techniques and the initial gragra in favor of an open discussion with his girlfriend. But all of that is hidden behind Wiz’s desire for his lover to give him more of them, something he could never lose. Don’t get me wrong, shaking bumbum is still a priority here.
