British actor, John Boyega claims Wizkid is his favourite Nigerian musician
Nigerian-British actor John Boyega recently expressed his admiration for Nigerian artist Wizkid.
During a recent interview on the Netflix show “Rep Your Flag,” Boyega revealed that Wizkid is his favorite artist from the country, stating that he has always loved his music.
As a prominent actor with Nigerian roots, Boyega also shared some of his favorite things about Nigeria, his home country, showcasing his connection and appreciation for his cultural heritage.
The actor said, “I’d say my favourite Nigerian artiste is Wizkid. I have always loved Wiz, obviously, sorry. But Burna Boy, Davido there is so much but Wiz has always had my heart from the beginning. That is who I followed for the longest. In Nigeria, we have various different music genres but afrobeats is just killing it right now.”
Further speaking on the things he loves about the country Boyega, who recently starred in the movie ‘They Cloned Tyrone’, said “My favourite Nigerian dish is jollof rice, with a side of plantain, two pieces of chicken and maybe a side of oxtail added in there and mum’s secret spice with a bottle of super malt.
“When it comes to visiting places in Nigeria, it is definitely going to visit my family in Abeokuta, which is just slightly outside Lagos. I also like going to Abuja which is very clean and more chilled. And obviously, I do like stepping in Lagos for dirty December. Every year we must go to Lagos. We must party, we must enjoy because Nigerians like a good time.”
