We understand. Portable and Wizkid should be paid the same amount of money for shows and brand deals because after all, they are both Musicians right?
Even in Africa, Nigerian Musicians will definitely be paid higher than Ghanaian or Togolese Musicians.
Wizkid never said Nike or PUMA can’t afford him, man was literally fighting for equal pay among African and Foreign Artists, if they can pay Offset $1m, they should be able to pay Asake $1m too for the same job, this was his message but English is a big problem for most of you

When my boss told me yesterday that he ordered an Oraimo AirPod for ₦7k, I told him it was probably fake 😭😂
Today, it arrived. He connected it to his phone expecting to see "Oraimo"...
Bluetooth name: "TWS" 😭😂
Oga refused to connect at first because he was still waiting for Oraimo to appear.
Won ti gba Mr. Nonso o 😂😭
The tears inside this long paragraph too heavy 😂
So the new script now be: "his absence proves his relevance"? The mental gymnastics is wild.
If Rema or any of the new generation missed out, una go call them local. But because na your fave, e don turn "strategic choice" and "legacy" talk.
No be the same person wey dey do living room show for Elumelu? If FIFA look him side, dem no go collect?
Rest abeg. Old glory no fit stop organic dominance for 2026.
The conversation around Wizkid not being included in the 2026 FIFA World Cup official music project says more about his influence than people realize. First, let's be clear, not being on a FIFA World Cup album does not erase nearly two decades of carrying Afrobeats and helping position African music on the global stage. Legacy isn't determined by a single invitation. What's funny is watching some of the same people who constantly claim Wizkid is "not relevant anymore" suddenly become outraged because he's absent from the project. If relevance was truly gone, there wouldn't be an uproar. People would simply celebrate the artists who made the album and move on. The trolls is actually proof of the expectations attached to Wizkid's name. For many people globally, he's the face of modern African music. When a major cultural project is announced, people naturally expect him to be involved. We've seen this before. When Beyoncé released The Lion King; The Gift, several African artists were featured. Yet one of the biggest global records to emerge from that project was Brown Skin Girl, featuring Wizkid. The song became one of the defining moments of the entire album and won major international recognition. That's been the story of Wizkid's career. He doesn't just participate in global moments.
He often becomes one of the defining highlights of them. Another thing people overlook is that Wizkid has consistently shown interest in partnerships that elevate African creatives to equal footing with international stars. Not token representation. Not symbolic inclusion. Actual global respect. Throughout his career, he has pushed for African music to be treated as a major force, not a side attraction. From sold-out arenas to chart records and historic collaborations, his focus has often been bigger than individual accolades. It's been about changing perceptions. That's why reducing this conversation to "he wasn't selected" misses the bigger picture. Sometimes artists choose opportunities. Sometimes opportunities choose artists. And sometimes business, branding, timing, and creative direction simply don't align. What cannot be debated is impact. The blueprint is already written. A generation of African artists now enter global rooms that were once almost inaccessible because pioneers like Wizkid helped open those doors. Whether he's on the FIFA World Cup project or not, the contribution remains. The records remain. The influence remains.
The global respect earned remains. And if we're being honest, the strongest evidence of Wizkid's cultural weight is the reaction we're witnessing right now. People are discussing his absence almost as much as they're discussing the actual lineup.
That alone tells a story. FIFA's album will move forward. The selected artists deserve congratulations. But Wizkid's place in the history of African music was secured long before this announcement and won't be defined by it. The conversation itself proves that. ❤️ 🦅
Look at them scrambling for excuses inside pure corporate rejection. 😭
If he was really that “easy to call,” why is the timeline currently flooding with explanations?
The bitter truth is simple: the industry has moved on to active stars who are consistently dropping back-to-back hits.
People on this app are really slow mhen.
so y’all think that if fifa can get Ayra Starr and odumodu black to be on a fifa song then na wizkid them no no go fit call or what ??
I hope y’all are not this slow in real life ❤️
It’s how they always try to downplay major international milestones the moment the corporate world doesn’t pick their fave.
You can’t be claiming “King of Afrobeats”, but when the biggest sporting platform on earth needs the sound, they bypass you for the young boys.
The packaging don pack up
People on this app are really slow mhen.
so y’all think because FIFA picked Ayra Starr & Odumodu blvck instead of wizkid or Asake you think it’s a cheap gig
I hope y’all are not this slow in real life ❤️
