Wizkid might have scored yet another international collaboration, only this time it’s with his British-Nigerian brother Tinie Tempah. Prior to this, he’s been spotted with American music acts Jidenna, Chris Brown and Drake, to name a few.
On Tuesday, June 14, 2016, the Ojuelegba crooner shared on Instagram photos with Tinie Tempah in Venezuela, and it’s got the fans buzzing yet again. From all indications, both stars are on to a new collaboration for which a video was shot at the recent location. Fresh out of the One Hell Of A Night Europe tour wherein he joined Chris Brown from June 5, 2016 to June 11, 2016; the Nigerian singer is sure making power moves with his music. Reports say the Afro pop star is set to release his Sounds From The Other Side EP which will feature a number of international music stars like Chris Brown, Jidenna and a few other unconfirmed acts. It’s been a massive year for the Nigerian star.
It all started in 2015 after Skepta brought Drake’s attention to the Nigerian pop star by playing him the song Ojuelegba. This impressed the American rapper who later made a remix to the song in July 2015.
By April 2016, the relationship had blossomed into a collaboration on the song One Dance off Drake’s new album Views. One Dance is the 12th track on the new album Views, the fourth studio album from Drake which was released by Cash Money Records, Young Money Entertainment and OVO Sound on Thursday, April 28, 2016. With this, Wizkid is sure gaining foothold in the global music scene and it presents many more opportunities for other pop artistes in Nigeria. On the heels of its unique instrumentation, blend of sounds and commercial success, One Dance climbed steadily up the Billboard Hot 100 chart week in week out. As at Wednesday, May 4 we reported that the track was sitting on the number two spot behind Panda by Desiigner. As at May 10, Wizkid and Drake climbed to the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with One Dance. Wizkid, formerly with EME records under Banky W, has managed to fly high in spite of being ruffled by a number of controversial issues such as baby mama dramas and allegations of song theft, among other things. The 25-year-old multi award-winning pop star and brand ambassador currently runs StarBoy Entertainment and has previously released two studio albums – Superstar and AYO.
