The afro beats star, this morning at his headline concert at the Livespot X Festival expressed his excitement over the success of the song.

In his words, “How can a young small boy from Ojuelegba, Surulere make a song with another girl from the same Lagos Nigeria and that song goes all the way to sell one million copies in America? That same song also got nominated for a Grammy award. That same song got on the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. The gag of the story is the same person that made that sae song is one small boy from Ojuelegba.”

Wizkid has indeed come a long way from his 2011 breakthrough to becoming the most-streamed Nigerian musician in the world.
