Wizkid reacts to Famous Pluto’s song, ‘Na Scra’
Nigerian music icon Wizkid has once again demonstrated his support for the country’s evolving soundscape, this time giving a nod to the trending track Na Scra by Famous Pluto, the younger brother of street-pop sensation Shallipopi.
The Grammy-winning artist took to social media to share a screenshot of himself listening to the song on Apple Music—an act widely regarded in the industry as a ‘co-sign.’
This subtle yet powerful endorsement has further amplified the song’s growing momentum.
Wizkid, known for his ability to recognize and uplift fresh talent, has previously shown love to emerging artists, often influencing their rise within the Afrobeats scene. With Na Scra already making waves, his approval is expected to propel it further into mainstream success.
Fans have since reacted with excitement, speculating on the potential impact of this recognition on Famous Pluto’s career.
As Afrobeats continues to evolve, Wizkid’s latest gesture reinforces his role as not just a global star but also a tastemaker in the Nigerian music industry.
In other news, Big Wiz achieved another remarkable streaming feat as his latest album, Morayo, surpasses Sounds from the Other Side to become his second most-streamed project on Spotify.
According to newly updated data, Morayo has now garnered 264 million streams, overtaking the 261 million streams accumulated by his 2017 album, Sounds from the Other Side. This milestone further solidifies Wizkid’s dominance in the global music scene.
Released in 2024, Morayo has captivated fans with its rich fusion of Afrobeats rhythms, smooth vocal delivery, and high-profile collaborations. The album’s widespread appeal continues to push the boundaries of the genre, reinforcing Wizkid’s reputation as one of Africa’s most influential artists.
