There’s no other way to say it, Starboy shut down London last night. What’s the definition of shut down? Being the first African to sell out the Royal Albert Hall, that’s what.
Since Wizkid’s performance last night, Twitter has been chirping away in exhilaration. As usual, the Wizkid army says he’s overtaken Fela as a legend. Hold on while I put on my blank face.
?
Silly arguments on TwitterNG aside, Wizkid definitely gave his fans a night to remember- and we commemorate that with this thread.

Wizkid on the Map!
Not sure Royal Albert ever had these number of Black people in this hall, when I come here for BBC symphony orchestra,it is always white

It was not just a gathering of Africans living in the U.K!@wizkidayo ๐ pic.twitter.com/WZtisCcbaM— Bliss (@otega0427) September 30, 2017
Let’s talk Ojuelegba
Itโs very obvious that Wizkidโs favorite song is โOjuelegbaโ. Maybe because the song pushed him to the international sphere

Not Wizkid’s mate
Ojuelegba which was the turning point for wizkid was recorded under EME.
But lets downplay the influence of Banky W.

Wizkid sells out London's most iconic venue. Tiwa on BBC Top 100 Women. Okocha voted as the greatest player in Reebok/Macron Stadium. ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ณ๐ฌ
