Wizkid Makes Rare Appearance on Comedian Shank’s Livestream in Los Angeles, Surprises Fans

Afrobeats superstar Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, delighted fans with a rare, unscripted moment as he made a surprise appearance on comedian and content creator Shank’s livestream in Los Angeles.
The Grammy-winning singer, who is widely known for his preference for privacy and low-key outings, was seen strolling casually through the streets of LA alongside members of his entourage when he bumped into the Nigerian comedian. Clad in his signature white singlet and ash joggers, the Essence crooner looked relaxed as he joined Shank for a few lighthearted exchanges.
Wizkid’s playful banter with Shank, coupled with his warm energy on camera, quickly won over fans online. During the brief encounter, he even hinted at returning for more content collaborations in the future, much to the delight of viewers tuning in live.
The clip from Shank’s livestream rapidly made the rounds on social media, with fans excited to see the often-reserved singer stepping into the limelight in such a casual and fun setting.
This unexpected moment follows closely on the heels of Wizkid’s recent headline show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, where he made another heartwarming gesture by bringing his third son, Zion, on stage during the performance. The touching moment drew widespread praise from fans and media alike.
Together, the livestream cameo and the on-stage father-son moment have offered fans rare, endearing glimpses into the singer’s life beyond the music—a side of Wizkid many don’t often get to see.
