As the heat over Wizkid’s controversial statement about rap slowly dies down, Mp3bullet.ng compiles a list of the best performances from Wizkid on rap songs.

A while back, Wikid touched a lot of nerves when he said that he doesn’t listen to rap as it is dead and boring.

Despite his explanation about his statement, it came as a shock to many people as you can’t count some of Wizkid’s best hits or collaborations without including rap songs.

True fans know a hip-hop lover, as he has mentioned numerous times that he began his musical career as a rapper before transitioning to signing.

The music master even made an appearance on famed disc jockey Jimmy Jatt’s premier rap show, ‘Jimmy’s Jump Off,’ where he dropped some bars.

While its not clear when Wizkid’s love for rap began to wax cold, his songs and career have been heavily impacted by the genre.

Mp3bullet.ng put together a list of times Wizkid gave mindblowing performances on rap songs.

Skepta ft. Wizkid- Energy

Together with Nigerian-British rapper Skepta, Big Wiz produced a spectacular hook for Big Chief Skep’s song “Energy,” as though their respective energies were drawn to one another.

It is interesting to note that the rap song was produced by renowned Nigerian producer Sarz, who also contributed to the song’s success.

Blown both in the UK and Nigeria, this is arguably one of the Wizkid-influenced rap songs that Nigerians actually know the rap lyrics, not to mention the brilliant hook from him.

M.I Abaga Ft Wizkid – Fast Cars

The youthful Wizkid made his name known with his performance on this song, which was released way back in 2008.

Off M.I Abaga’s breakout album Talk About It, the youthful Wizkid demonstrated his skill on the song, leaving no doubt in the hearts of those who cared to listen.

Wizkid unquestionably received the necessary industry attention thanks to the song. Absolute Classic!

Emtee ft Wizkid & AKA – Roll Up

A true hip-hop track from the trap genre. Wizkid and fellow South African rapper AKA were featured by the artist Emtee on the song Roll Up, and Wizkid once again did not disappoint.

Big Wiz did a great job with his verse on the trap tune. He made it his own, undoubtedly introducing the song to a Nigerian audience. Without a doubt, one of the best Wizkid features!

Tinie Tempah ft. Wizkid – Mamacita

Starring on this collaboration with British rapper Tinie Tempah (who is of Nigerian descent) once again confirmed that “Wizkid lon help awon rappers yi (Wizkid helps all these rappers).

Star Boy gave a standout performance on the rap song with a Caribbean influence and further cemented his inclusion in the song with a hot verse.

Jesse Jagz ft. Wizkid – Bad Girl

While this is debatable, it is common knowledge that Emperor Jaga, better known by his stage name Jesse Jagz, is one of the greatest rappers in Nigerian music history and is constantly highly conscious of his features.

Therefore, the fact that Wizkid is included in a song just serves to further support the claim that he can blend in with any genre.

The mid-tempo afro-ragga rap song ‘Bad Girl‘ saw Wizkid give one of his best hooks as an artist and it was delivered perfectly.

Olamide ft Wizkid, ID Cabasa – Totori

Olamide and Wizkid have established their musical compatibility over time.

Due to this, many people knew a hit song was forthcoming when they announced their collaboration, especially given that it was being produced by seasoned producer ID Cabasa.

Wizzy once again delivered his hook on a mid-tempo afro-fused rap tune, making him a rapper’s best friend in need of a “hit” song.

Reminisce ft. Wizkid – Eleniyan

Being a perfect musical chameleon that can be trusted on for any style of song, the Wizkid brand is lovely in that it can easily integrate into the “tush” and “local” context. Wiz once again delivered on the groove with Reminisce, one of Nigeria’s top rappers.

Reminisce remarked in the song’s opening lyrics that there was no way he would get it wrong because Wizkid was featured, demonstrating how certain he was that Wiz would deliver on the track.

CDQ ft Wizkid – Nowo E Soke

Wizkid breathed more life into the already grooving Masterkraft-produced rhythm. Undoubtedly a smash in the clubs, Wizkid gave a fantastic performance on CDQ’s “Nowo e soke.”

Phenom ft Wizkid – Murda Dem (Remix)

Collaboration on a hip-hop song with one of the dopest Nigerian rappers at the time, Phenom, culminated in the blockbuster track Murda Dem. The song, which was produced by Legendary Beatz, is, in my opinion, undervalued. Big Wiz really shined on this song, and that’s on period!

Young Jeezy ft Wizkid & Trey Song – Good Life

Wizkid deservedly appeared on a song owned by American veteran rapper Jeezy when it was released in 2017, at a period when the Wizkid movement was slowly but surely entering the American market. He delivered a calming hook that was so slick you would have mistaken him for an American musician.

Trey Songz, a well-known American singer, also appeared in the song “Good Life,” but Wizkid did not get lost in the mix. He did a great job of holding his ground.

Blow My Mind- Davido

“Blow My Mind“, which features Chris Brown, was released by Davido in 2019 on July 26.

Davido creates a wonderful atmosphere in this mid-tempo song, which was produced by Shizzi, and Chris Brown demonstrates why he is the ideal feature for this song by delivering a fantastic melodic verse.

His contrasting flows made his stanza fascinating and complimented the track.

Shopping Spree- Davido ft Young Thug

Davido teamed up with Chris Brown for the third time on Shopping Spree, from Davido’s third studio album A Better Time, which was released on November 12th, 2020.

Davido’s velvety voice and flawless bounce, along with the beat’s rhythmic flow, make this song enticing. Chris Brown came through with his incredible sound.

Time & Affection- Rema

This London-produced song is both meditative and wonderful.

Chris Brown completes the song with an outstanding verse after Rema delivers one in his ideal style.

Monalisa remix- Lojay & Sarz

Chris Brown was enlisted by Lojay and music producer, Sarz to release the smash song Monalisa. The American singer demonstrated his Afrobeat expertise while giving the song his all.

American singer, songwriter, and songwriter Tremaine Neverson, popularly known as Trey Songz, has reacted to the rape accusation levied against him by an unknown lady.

The musician, who is currently a global topic, was recently slammed with a $20 million lawsuit for damages by the aforementioned woman.

The lady claimed in the complaint papers acquired by American news source TMZ that the award-winning musician invited her to a home party in Los Angeles in 2016 where he assaulted her.

Reacting to the allegation, a representative for Trey Songz said:

Earlier today, the attorney who drafted this suit was credibly accused of trying to pay a woman to falsely accuse Trey.Hours later, that same attorney has filed this suit on behalf of an anonymous client. It isn’t hard to see what’s happening here, and it is a shame for genuine victims of sexual assault. The allegations in this complaint are false. Trey looks forward to having the facts fully aired.

However, the woman’s attorney, Ariel Mitchell, who was also representing two other women suing the artist for alleged sexual assaults, also responded saying:

“Victims are coming forward every day. Just know you are not alone, and this behaviour is unacceptable. George Vrabeck and I will not be deterred by bullying or intimidation tactics and will continue our pursuit of justice for sexual assault victims of Trey Songz.”

Songz accused of ‘brutal rape’ of woman in March 2016 incident at LA house.

The R&B artist is accused of sexually assaulting women

American musician Tremaine Aldon Neverson, known professionally as Trey Songz has been sued and accused of sexual assault in connection with a 2016 incident at a party in Los Angeles in a $20 million lawsuit.

According to court documents acquired by TMZ, the lady, known as Jane Doe in the suit, claimed that the 37-year-old musical artist forced her to have anal sex against her will.

She said:

“Trey repeatedly asked her if he could “get that a**” on the way upstairs … to which she says she repeatedly told him “no” and to stop asking.”

“Trey’s demeanor changed upon entering the bedroom. She says he threw her to the ground, ripped her pants off, pinned her down face first and forced his penis into her anus without her consent.”

Songz’s representative told the outlet Tuesday night that “the allegations, in this case, are baseless,” and that Songz “looks forward to having the facts fully exposed.”

The woman said that prior to the March 24, 2016 incident, she’d had consensual sexual relations with the R&B artist.

She said they were at a party at a house in Los Angeles Songz invited her to when they went upstairs for what she thought would be a consensual encounter.

According to court documents, the woman said Songz acted like a savage rapist’ once they got to the bedroom, throwing her on the floor, removing her pants, pinning her down face first, and penetrating her anus while she cried and pleaded with him to stop.

She told the court that in the wake of the traumatic incident, she gathered her clothing and exited the premises to take an Uber ride away.

Songz’s lawyer, Jeffrey Neiman, told the court that a female witness (who has not been publicly identified) stated that Songz did not do what he was accused of doing in the Miami incident.

That Mitchell unsuccessfully attempted to recruit her as a co-plaintiff against Songz, and change her account of events, with the potential for a settlement ranging from $100,000 to $200,000.

In response, Mitchell told the outlet on Tuesday that she and Vrabeck would ‘not be discouraged by bullying or intimidation tactics and will continue our pursuit of Justice for Trey Songz sexual assault victims.’

Today, Mp3bullet.ng will take a look at some of some hit songs from Wizkid that never got music videos.

Shabba ft. Chris Brown, Trey Songz, French Montana

In 2016, Young Wizzy decided to create his version of Chris Brown’s song, which he was featured on.

In it, he featured Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and French Montana, and of course, it was a mega-hit that year.

As for the music video, anticipations were high with the hope of having them thrill the dance floor with great moves, however, we didn’t get one.

Drop ft. Wale

Let’s agree that Wizkid in 2013 was one of the music dynamites and any single dropped was a hit.

However, there is the special one that took the clubs by surprise and that’s Drop, of which he tags Wale in.

With the national recognition and international display, Wizkid never released a music video for it.

Blessed ft. Damien Marley

Here comes another amazing groove that is yet to get a music video from Wizzy’s cabinet.

‘Blessed‘ is off Wizkid’s Made In Lagos Album which he released in October 2020. Upon the arrival of the project, the tune was considered one of the classiest with a catchy vibe.

He featured Damian Marley, the son of the legendary Bob Marley (Late) and the performance was stunning.

As it is, there is no hint from Wizkid about shooting a music video for the song.

Juru (Wizkid music videos)

This is another groove from his 2013 catalog. Although it was a freestyle, the magic it did on the streets certainly should not be taken for granted.

Wizkid gave us this jam and it surely deserves a music video!

Gidi Girl

This evergreen melody off Wizkid’s Superstar album surely deserves a music video too.

Then, young and aspiring, Wizzy sang his soul and heart in this song, and of course, it is considered one of Wizkid’s hottest love songs.

Yet, with the deep affection displayed in producing an audio, the Starboy never planned a music video for it.

For Me ft. Wande Coal

For the very first time, We had Wizkid and Wande Coal on a track! Also, it was a track on the Superstar’s album.

Not much should be said about its impact that year because, clearly, it was a bomb!

While many enjoyed the audio display, a befitting visual would have made a big difference.

Wizkid ft. Drake – Come Closer

On this one, Wizzy lends Drake’s vocals a year after he appeared on his One Dance tune.

As a matter of fact, this is the song that gave Wizkid his first 100million streams on YouTube.

Wizkid ft. Chris Brown – African Bad Gyal

Also, we have Wizzy and Chris Brown who came through with this track as their second collaboration in 2017.

Exclusively, the title alone speaks of the audacity it gnashed through our headphones.

Skepta ft. Wizkid – Energy (Wizkid international collaborations)

The British-Nigerian rapper and Wizkid launched this beautiful combo in 2018. Still one of my favorite between the duo.

Also, this collabo happened after Skepta appeared on Ojuelegba remix in 2014.

Wizkid ft. Wale – Drop (Wizkid International collaborations)

Here, we have this beautiful combo that would serve as their first major hit tune.

Rocking this song in clubs and parties was the deal for that year. Although they didn’t shoot a music video for it and we still don’t know why.

Shabba ft. Chris Brown, Trey Songz, French Montana

For the first time in 2016, Wizzy premiered a track with Chris Brown, French Montana, and Trey Songz.

Shabba did wonders to our clubs and stereos.

Smile ft. H.E.R (Wizkid International collaborations)

This is one of the hottest grooves off Starboy’s Made In Lagos album. Respectively, a good number of Wizkid’s fans appreciate this song for the kind of vibe he put in it.

Basically, it appreciates life and oneself, not forgetting one’s family!

Akon ft. Wizkid – Escape

Finally, there is Akon and Wizzy on a sound. The legendary Akon released this magic in 2020 and is still one of the hottest international collaborations Wizkid has done.

Spotlighting 5 Wizkid Songs that deserve more Replay

With four studio albums, one compilation album, and more than fifty songs under his belt, Wizkid boasts one of the most outstanding discographies of any Nigerian artist.

Because there is so much material, some of it has slipped under the radar of the more popular hits, therefore we’ve compiled a list of some Wizkid songs you need to put on replay.

• RELATED: Songs that prove Wizkid is a versatile artist
• RELATED: Top 5 Major Foreign Artists Wizkid has featured in his songs.

Joy

A homage to mothers and a poignant track in its own right, “Joy” is off Wizkid’s second studio album, “Ayo (Joy).”

The reggae influence was clearly noticeable and Wizkid shows off his lyrical prowess on this one.

Sisi Nene

Wizkid’s early EME Records songs, including this carefree 2012 release “Sisi Nene,” were full of party starters and crowd-pleasers.

A teenage Wizkid praises his love interest, who he only has eyes for, on this song produced by Jay Sleek, with whom he frequently collaborated back then.

It features an engaging beat and a catchy tune. It is an underestimated song from Wizkid’s library and a true member of Wizkid’s iconic ‘hard drive songs.’

For Me ft Wande Coal

“For Me,” from Wizkid’s debut album, was one of the best collaborations we’ve heard in the previous decade, even though it wasn’t released as a single.

Regardless, it was one among the singles that solidified Wizkid’s status as the G.O.A.T., alongside Wande Coal, who had previously made his mark.

Wizkid and Wande Coal displayed tremendous chemistry, singing primarily in Yoruba about the impact of a lover against a catchy and energetic beat.

You can appreciate the great sonic quality whether or not you comprehend what they’re saying.

Murder ft Wale

Wizkid’s second studio album, “Ayo,” was released in 2014, and while “Ojuelegba” was a hit with fans and listeners worldwide, there were a few deep cuts that went unnoticed, such as the Maleek Berry-produced, Wale-assisted “Murder.”

Wizkid sings seductively about a partner whose looks “are killing [him] murder” on the bouncy single.

Wizkid navigates between the catchy melody and the two verses in his usual smooth and seductive fashion until Wale joins him to drop some Yoruba bars, which was highly thrilling at the moment the song premiered.

Following that, Wizkid and Wale collaborated once more on the amazing “My Love,” which also featured Major Lazer and Dua Lipa.

“Everytime” Ft Future

Wizkid’s appearance on Drake’s chart-topping single “One Dance” seemed to bring in tens of thousands of foreign features. On ‘Sounds from the Other Side,’ he collaborated with Drake, Major Lazer, and even Trey Songz and Ty Dolla $ign.

In the same year, he collaborated with everyone’s thorny favourite, Future, on the romantic track “Everytime.”

The music was only available for a short period on Soundcloud before being made available on streaming sites, thus it managed to fly under the radar as well.

Both musicians traded bars about attractive, charming women who they can’t seem to get out of their heads on a groovy beat produced by Shizzi.

We curated a list of the Top 5 Major Foreign Artists Wizkid has featured in his songs.

International collaborations are now a norm in the Nigerian Music Industry. A long time ago, getting an international artist to feature on a Nigerian song was a dream and almost impossible to achieve.

As the Nigerian Music Industry started getting more international recognition, legendary artists like D’banj, 2Baba, P-square took advantage of the opportunity and started featuring foreign acts on their songs.

For Wizkid who had just emerged in 2010 with his “Holla At Ya Boy“, he was still a long way from achieving this feat. But as his influence continued to grow, so did the attention from the international music scene.

Now, with over a decade in the music industry, Wizkid boasts of an impressive list of international collaborations including one with Beyonce on “Brown Skin Girl”- the song that would earn him his first Grammy Award.

Here are the Top 5 Major Foreign Artists Wizkid has featured in his songs;

Drake

The relationship between Drake and Wizkid has been a fruitful one so far. Although the two don’t look tight, this doesn’t affect their chemistry.

Drake first jumped on the remix of Wizkid’s 2014 hit song, “Ojuelegba” alongside Skepta. While the remix wasn’t as popular as the original, this was the beginning of a great partnership.

The two worked on Drake’s 2016 record-breaking song “One Dance” which charted around the world and earned Wizkid various accolades and awards.

Wizkid would then feature Drake on his 2017 song, “Come Closer“. Although Drake didn’t appear on the music video, it didn’t affect its success.

Currently, the song is one of Wizkid’s most streamed songs on major streaming platforms and sits at 107 Million views on Youtube, his second most-streamed song on the platform.

Skepta

While Drake and Wizkid aren’t exactly buddies, Skepta and Wizkid on the other hand could be referred to as brothers from different mothers.

Skepta is credited as the person that orchestrated the relationship between Wizkid and Drake and even got the Canadian rapper to feature on the remix of “Ojuelegba”

Their relationship birthed Skepta’s 2018 hit song, “Bad Energy” which is one of the best collaborations to happen between a Nigerian and UK artist.

They would also collaborate on “Longtime” one of the songs from Wizkid’s “Made In Lagos” album.

Akon

Akon was the first International artist Wizkid featured on a song. The first song they collaborated on was the remix of Wizkid’s “Don’t Dull,” while the song wasn’t officially released, a leaked version could be found online.

The official song they collaborated on was the remix of Wizkid’s 2012 song, “Roll It” which also features Banky W. Then they also collaborated on Wizkids’s “For You” off his sophomore album, “Ayo”

The two have a good relationship with Akon referring to Wizkid as his brother. Their last collaboration was Akon’s “Escape” first released as a soundtrack to the “Black November” film and then re-released in 2020.

Chris Brown

In 2017, Wizkid dropped his third album, “Sounds from the Other Side” of which “African Bad Gyal” featuring Chris Brown was part of the songs off the project.

The song which was produced by Sarz currently sits on more than 5 Million views on Youtube. A year earlier, the two worked on another song titled “Shabba” alongside Trey Songz and French Montana.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber is the latest International Big wig that Wizkid has added to his roster of international features.

Their collaboration was unexpected and a surprise but a welcome development. Justin Bieber was featured on the remix of Wizkid’s 2020 groundbreaking summer bp, “Essence” which many music lovers have praised.

We can only hope this isn’t the last collaboration they have.

While Wizkid helped refined AFrobeats/Afropop, he has shown over time that this isn’t the only genre he can jump on and that no matter the type of songs or genres, he would deliver.

His capability to hop into any genre and deliver is something we don’t get to talk about nearly enough, and it’s one of the many reasons why his fans like him.

Wizkid had already been making waves under the Nigerian record label Empire Mates Entertainment before the rest of the world caught up to him.

• RELATED: How Wizkid birthed a sound in the Nigerian music industry

Here are some of the times Wizkid stepped outside of his comfort zone, experimented with new genres, and yet managed to deliver a hit single.

Roll Up- Emtee ft Aka

Emtee pulled in fellow South African rapper AKA and Nigerian superstar Wizkid for the ReUp of the ‘Roll Up,’ who set the tone properly with the first verse on the trap tune.

In this trap song, Wizkid proved that he is as capable as any trap rapper, his verse even became the most catchy part of the song.

Beat of Life(Samba)- Sarz

When Sarz wanted to create a unique sound, he knew the only person who would perfectly bring his vision to life was Wizkid and his theory didn’t disappoint.

To this day who doesn’t refer to the video of the two in a studio and Sarz playing the beat to Samba for Wizkid for the first time. If the freestyle was joyous, the full song created magic.

Come Closer ft Drake

The Raggamuffin single is taken Wizkid’s star-studded album “Sounds From The Other Side”. Sarz produced the song, which featured Drake, undoubtedly one of the greatest rappers of all time.

This song has a melody that have you wanting to bend and show off your waist twisting skills. Going by its massive streaming numbers, it was a fan favorite off the album.

The Matter- Maleek Berry

Most people would say Wizkid doesn’t have lyrical depth but on “The Matter” he proves them wrong. On the hip-hop-inspired track, Wizkid goes on a braggadocio rants on a Maleek Berry-produced beat.

Mamacita- Tinie Tempah

Wizkid’s performance on Tinie Tempah’s “Mamacita” further proved that “Wizkid lo help awon rappers yi” (Wizkid helps all these rappers).

Star Boy delivered a fantastic performance on the Caribbean-infused rap track, and added a dope verse to solidify his place on the track.

Essence ft Tems

After promising and failing to deliver the much-awaited album “Made in Lagos” for a long time, Wizkid eventually released the album in October 2020, and it was well worth the wait.

The album included the song “Essence,” which featured Tems, a fast-rising Nigerian singer.

To demonstrate how amazing the song was, the song it to Obama’s favorite songs of 2020, entered the top 15 songs in US Apple music chart, went up to the 25th spot in the Top 100 Global Apple music charts, was at the number 1 position on the Top 25 songs played on Apple Music in Washington, and several top celebrities including Kevin Hart, Kylie Jenner, and many others vibed to the song online.

It even made history as the first Nigerian Song to enter Billboard Hot 100 charts.

The song Good Life featured Trey Songz, a well-known American singer, but Wizkid was not overshadowed. He did a good job of standing his ground.
