“One day at 3am I received a message that Wizkid would like to meet me, I didn’t believe it so I hesitated a bit, I called my friend and my sister and they encouraged me to go ahead and meet him. I doubted the authenticity of the message till I was at the entrance of the studio where I finally met him. I was very shy but him and his team did everything possible to make me feel comfortable. He even went out of his way to get me a left handed guitarist in the neighborhood because I’m left handed.
Wizkid is an artist I grew up listening to, both in Gabon and across Africa more broadly. Meeting him in person and seeing someone who had played such a major role in my musical world was truly impressive.”

Wizkid just saved Afrobeats in the international market again with his verse on “Anxious” by Latto.
After all the weak international features we’ve been hearing lately by Burna Boy, this one finally sounds natural again.
