    After months of uncertainty surrounding his touring future, especially following the cancellation of key North American and European dates for his Morayo Live In tour, Nigerian music icon Wizkid made a triumphant return to the global stage at the 2025 KCRW Festival.

    Held at the prestigious Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, the event on June 22, 2025, proved to be a monumental comeback for the Afrobeats legend.

    For fans who couldn’t witness the magic live, here are four standout highlights from what is already being hailed as a historic performance:

    1. Wizkid and Asake Deliver Surprise U.S. Debut of “MMS”

    Concertgoers were treated to a jaw-dropping moment when Asake joined Wizkid on stage to perform their smash hit MMS live for the first time in the United States.

    The collaboration, which has dominated charts and playlists, was not previously announced, making the performance an unexpected gift for fans. Asake’s unbilled appearance electrified the crowd, solidifying MMS as one of 2025’s most iconic Afrobeats anthems.

    2. Twitch Star Shank Meets Wizkid for Creative Crossover

    Popular African Twitch streamer Shank also linked up with Wizkid in Los Angeles, sparking excitement across social media. The duo hinted at future collaborations that blend music and streaming culture, suggesting that Big Wiz may be exploring fresh digital avenues for content and fan engagement. For fans of both worlds, this meeting hinted at exciting cross-platform possibilities.

    3. Wizkid Gets Personal: “She Looks Just Like My Mum”

    In one of the night’s most heartfelt moments, Wizkid paused his set to speak about the arrival of his baby daughter, Morayo. He shared with the audience that the little girl resembles his late mother, a revelation that drew warm applause and emotional reactions.

    “She gave me a daughter that looks exactly just like my mum,” he said, referring to his partner, Jada P. The emotional tribute added a deeply personal touch to an already powerful night.

    4. The Starboy Mashup That Set the Bowl Alight

    Wizkid reminded the crowd why he remains a global force with a seamless mashup of fan-favorites. Blending Turn Me On by Kevin Lyttle, Come Closer featuring Drake, and Slow Down by R2Bees, he took the audience on a nostalgic journey while maintaining the high energy of the night. The transitions, arrangements, and live delivery of these tracks marked a masterclass in showmanship.

    From surprise appearances to emotional revelations, Wizkid’s performance at the 2025 KCRW Festival wasn’t just a comeback it was a statement. With this show, he silenced doubters and reasserted his dominance as a global Afrobeats ambassador.
