Konvict Muzik founder, Akon has explained why Wizkid has continued to grow bigger on the global music scene.
Akon said Wizkid activated his growth when he decided to employ a bit of the legendary Afrobeat, Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s style.
He made this known while speaking in an interview about PSquare’s break out into global music stage as a duo and Wizkid’s growth as a solo artiste.
“PSquare ended up becoming the poster children of Africa at that time as a group. They were the biggest, streaming, selling all of that. But that was us pushing that.
“As that went more popular, Wizkid as a solo artiste just became bigger and bigger because he had the whole Fela vibe,” the 49-year-old music executive said.
