Since the recent Grammy Awards, Wizkid has received a lot of attention, which is helping his music.

The Nigerian afro-fusion superstar Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, known professionally as Wizkid, has hit a new milestone with his album titled “Ayo” as it regains the top spot on iTunes after 8years.

The 19-track album, which was released in 2014, features smash tunes like “Ojuelegba,” “Jaiye Jaiye” and a host of others.

According to a recent update, the Afro-fusion record has reclaimed the top spot on iTunes Nigeria after an eight-year absence.

This might be a result of the recent campaign to get one of the visuals of the song off the project ‘Ojuelegba’ to fifty (50) million views on YouTube.

Wizkid’s Essence loses to Arooj’s Mohabbat for Best Global Music Performance at the 64th Grammys ceremony.

Pakistani-born singer, Arooj Aftab has won the Best Global Performance with ‘Mohabbat’ at the 64th Grammys, defeating Wizkid and others.

Femi Kuti (“Pà Pá Pà”), Wizkid feat Tems (“Essence”), Angélique Kidjo feat Burna Boy (“Do Yourself”), and Yo-Yo Ma and Angélique Kidjo (“Blewu”) were among the other nominees in the category.

“I think I’m gonna faint. Wow thank you so much. I feel like this category in and of itself has been so insane,” Aftab said.

“Burna Boy, Wizkid, Femi Kuti, Angélique Kidjo—should this be called Best World Music Performance? I feel like it should be called ‘yacht party category.’
