Wizkid, who was named Apple Music's Artist of the Year for Africa, has had an incredible year. Made in Lagos, his fourth album, combines r&b and pop with the afrobeats style he helped pioneer, yet the Nigerian artist is adamant about keeping his sound firmly rooted in Africa.
He saw a shift coming, and after working on his album for almost three years, he felt ready to soar to the top, expressing his thanks for being given the opportunity to collaborate with musicians like Beyoncé and Justin Bieber.
His rise to fame has taught him the value of self-love, the value of family, and the fact that good things come to those who wait. watch the 2021 Apple Music Awards below
