Wizkid became the biggest Nigerian artist on Apple Music and Spotify without dropping a single or album this year, coasting entirely on features and his 2024 release Morayo. The Grammy winner landed 25 tracks on Apple Music Nigeria's most-streamed list while his tribute album to his late mother topped charts across Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa. His collabs with artists like Young Jonn, Asake, Tyla, Olamide, and Gunna carried the momentum.
HBO aired his documentary tracking his rise from Lagos to selling out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the first African to do it. The film shows how he built his empire, starting with Superstar back in 2011, then pushed into American markets with help from Drake and Major Lazer, before snagging a Grammy for Brown Skin Girl with Beyonce.
