Wizkid has added yet another feather to his already decorated cap, this time clinching the Best Continental Male Songwriter (Africa) at the 2025 Entertainment Arts Excellence Awards (EAEA).
It’s the kind of recognition that doesn’t just celebrate star power; it salutes craftsmanship. And if there’s anything Wizkid has mastered over the past decade, it’s the art of weaving emotions into melodies that travel far beyond Africa’s borders.
For years, he has been the quiet architect behind some of Afrobeats’ most memorable moments the silky hooks, the heartfelt lyrics, the breezy rhythms that feel effortless but carry the weight of intentional artistry.
The EAEA organizers chose to spotlight the creators behind the music this year, and in that space, Wizkid’s pen continues to shine with a steady, unmistakable glow.
Even though Nigerian heavyweights Davido and Burna Boy also secured big wins on the night, Wizkid’s nod for songwriting stood out. It felt like a recognition of the magic that happens long before the bright lights in the quiet, creative corners where ideas turn into anthems.
With this honour, Wizkid once again cements his place not just as a global performer but as one of Africa’s most reliable and refined songwriters, a figure whose influence continues to shape the heartbeat of modern Afrobeats.
