With characteristic candor, he stated, “Album done! See you soon b*tches! And abeg if you like Pakurumo Wizkid, don’t download this new album. In fact, delete me from your playlist and your life! If you like Afrobeats, don’t download my album. I’m not a f*cking Afrobeats artiste. I am not Afro anything.”
Wizkid’s declaration showcases his determination to transcend genre constraints and defy expectations. It signals a bold evolution in his musical journey, promising an album that defies categorization and challenges the status quo.
