    Nigerian megastar Wizkid has just made history by securing his place as the most certified Nigerian artist in South Africa.

    Recently, he added two new certifications to his already impressive collection. Wizkid’s global hit “Come Closer,” featuring Drake, has reached a staggering 4x Platinum status in South Africa, while his smooth track “Sweet One” earned a well-deserved Gold certification.

    This success is not a one-off event. In 2023, Wizkid dominated the South African charts with an incredible five platinum certifications for songs from his chart-topping album ‘Made in Lagos.’

    These certifications include “Essence,” which achieved 7x Platinum status, “Ginger” featuring Burna Boy, which is 2x Platinum, and “No Stress,” “True Love” featuring Tay Iwar and Projexx, and “Longtime” featuring Skepta, each earning one platinum certification.

    This monumental achievement showcases Wizkid’s immense influence on the African music scene.

    In other news, artist Wizkid has shared with fans the titles of two tracks on his upcoming, highly anticipated album, “Morayo“ dedicated to his late mother. In his latest interview with Esquire, Wizkid opened up about his upbringing and his approach to raising his own children.

    During an interactive session with fans, he revealed that the album will feature both an intro and an outro, suggesting a cohesive and thoughtful structure for the project.

    This insight hints at a new direction for the album, as Wizkid continues to explore his artistry and personal growth through his music.

    The anticipation for “Morayo” has been building, with fans eager to hear how Wizkid’s personal experiences and reflections will shape his new work.

    The confirmation of these two tracks adds to the excitement, promising a meaningful and well-rounded album.
