Afrobeat superstar Wizkid has sent his fans into a madness with the confirmation of a new project titled “Morayo”. The news comes after weeks of speculation on social media, with fans buzzing about potential new music from the Nigerian singer. The project, dedicated to his late mother, Jane Dolapo Balogun, who passed away in August 2023, promises to be a heartfelt tribute to her memory.
Details about “Morayo” are still scarce, but Wizkid’s social media confirmation has certainly arose the interest of his millions of followers. Fans have taken to Twitter and Instagram to express their excitement, with many speculating different opinion concerning the project, “Morayo.”
Wizkid’s fans are eagerly awaiting whatever it is. With his track record of releasing chart-topping hits, there’s no doubt that “Morayo” will be a major project for the Afrobeat star.
In some viral Instagram posts, he denied being labeled as an Afrobeats artist. He urged fans to delete him from their playlists and lives. He also asked them not to download his new album.
Brief Note on Wizkid Music Career
Wizkid started his music career at 11 years old and became famous with his first album, “Superstar,” in 2011. He achieved international success with Drake’s hit song “One Dance,” which topped charts worldwide. He also won a Grammy for his work on Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl.”
As Wizkid gears up to release “Morayo,” he’s joining other African artists in questioning the Afrobeats label. Wizkid, like fellow Nigerian artist Burna Boy, is part of a movement to redefine African music as “Afro-fusion.” This movement aims to redefine African music. This change highlights how African artists are breaking away from limiting genre labels as their music evolves.
Wizkid’s upcoming album “Morayo” is expected to significantly impact the music scene, showcasing his artistic growth and ability to transcend genre boundaries again.
