Nigerian singer Seyi Shay has named Afrobeats star, Wizkid as the Greatest of all time.
She made the declaration during an interview with The Honest Bunch podcast.
Seyi Shay spoke about her relationship with the singer, while lauding him for his talent and intelligence.
The singer praised Wizkid’s level of creativity while reminiscing on a studio session the two artists once had.
“That I respect to this day. I still think he’s the greatest. I still do. Like there’s no way around it. I’ve worked with everybody in this industry and to me, he’s the greatest. I don’t care what anyone says. Wizkid, we became genuine friends now. It was now no longer industry friends because I realized that he’s actually so smart and so talented. Like I’ve actually seen him record while eating. And that was mad to me. I don’t know where he gets his inspiration from, but he’s like a magician,” she stated.
Seyi Shay also revealed that Wizkid used to confide in her about happenings and experiences in the music industry. She also praised his level of discipline despite his global fame.
“And I am attracted, heavily attracted to people with such levels of talent. And he used to tell me a lot about how people behave in this industry. So coming in new, I have to watch out for things like this, things like that, you know, and just be on guard. And, you know, and I wish I listened and not wasn’t so free because he does it so well. He’s very disciplined. Like he knows how to, you know, yeah. And that’s, he lives by that. And this is the things that he used to tell me. So from that, I was like, yo, you’re really cool. Yeah. But he was already famous. He was already wiz,” she added.
