Who's hotter than WizKid right now?
The 25 year old Afro-beats artist has a slew of awards under his belt - BET Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, World Music Awards and many many more. But that's not all. The 25 year old signed a lucrative six figure deal with mega brand Pepsi and just last year he was the first Nigerian celebrity to amass a million followers on Twitter.
What could make WizKid's stellar year even better? Not much but having celebrity co-signs on his music might put a little pep in his step. Let's take a look at some of his celeb fans!
1. A few weeks ago, the 6 God Drake marked the first installment of his “OVO
Sound Radio by playing Wiz-Kid on his Apple Music Beats 1 radio
station. Drizzy played “Ojuelegba” - a song that highlights the
struggles he endured in the early years of Wiz's recording career. Drake played three new remixes during the program, adding verses to WizKid's "Ojuelegba", Ramriddlz's "Sweeterman", and Roy Wood$'s "Drama."
2. This is a must see for any WizKid fan. Grammy Award winning singer Alicia Keys uploaded of herself dancing to the same "Ojuelegba" song today. The songtress captioned the video "the song makes me happy" #goodvibes
3. Alicia's
hubby Swizz Beatz is also a fan of WizKid. He took to Instagram to share the album cover of WizKid's latest album "Joy"
4. If you're still on the fence about WizKid's prowess then his Chris Brown collaboration might sway you.
