Vibrant neons and pastels, ethereal woodlands, sandy plains, and modelesque women populate its realms.

While there is a hazy plot in which Wizkid chases a lovely stranger, this is primarily an artistic endeavour.

Single Wizkid was out and about with a friend, checking out the gorgeous region, seeing many nice things and beautiful people, including a Damsel in Distress, whom he waved at and passed by.

Anoti changes into Mood, When Wizkid arrived in another realm, he freshened himself and was surprised to see the same lovely female there.

He knew he’d found love and didn’t waste time confessing it; instead, he came up, fell in love, and transported them to another dimension.
