Yemi Alade quickly took to the comment to attribute it to grace before slamming the singer.

Don’t go yet, there is more!
Quickly, come let’s take a look at the latest Wizkid record with Made In Lagos album.
Wizkid Eclipse Fela Longest Billboard Chart Record
Afrobeat has been on the steady rise with Davido, Wizkid, Burnaboy, Tiwa Savage all contributing to its global acceptance.
but wait!
Aren’t we forgetting to mention someone who played the biggest role in crafting out this beautiful genre?
Equally important to know is the fact that it was Fela that created this genre hence he is known as the king of Afrobeat.
I have seen lots of articles call Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy King of Afrobeat but on what basis?
Fela single-handedly crafts a genre where every Nigerian has ripped the benefit so nothing will usurp that if you ask me.
Anyways, I am sure you have an opinion and I would love to hear it in the comment section below.
With that out of the way, Wizkid recently equaled Baba Fela’s record of the longest-charting Afrobeat album on Billboard today.
Made in Lagos has spent 45 weeks on the chart equaling Fela’s The Best of the Black President album which was a compilation after his death in 1997.
Here is the order of the longest-charting Afrobeat album on Billboard.
- Fela The Best Of The Black President 45 weeks
- Wizkid Made In Lagos 45 weeks
- Burna Boy African Giant 35 weeks
- Davido A Good Time 25 weeks
This means by the end of the year this record will be broken given the tour that Wizkid is currently on.
It’s a huge step in the right direction considering it’s a record that’s been held for over 20 years by the king of Afrobeat.
Now, still, on Naija celebrity news episode 1, with Wizkid as today’s focus, come let’s discover more.
I Am Looking For A Wife
Wizkid much like Davido has children from different women and at this point, it’s normal for celebs.
Don’t get me wrong, every woman wants to sleep with a star, it’s controversial but true as well except such a woman is in denial.
With hit song by Wizkid driving US citizens crazy, the singer has further fueled a conversation on Instagram.
While on his tour he paused his performance to engage with his audience as they sing along before taking to social media to make this comment.
Wizkid Said: Be like I go find my wife for this tour 😊😊.
He also added this: As a single father, I hope I catch a wife on this tour ♥️♥️.
Finally here is how fans reacted to the post.
Foodie_That_Cooks Said: Women that claim men that don’t claim them how una dey do am?
Futballpunter Said: Big Wiz dey for everybody. E go reach my sis turn lass lass.

The success of Wizkid Made In Lagos album has been touted to humble Davido and Burna Boy in a recent trend on Twitter.
Made in Lagos has sold over 1 million copies in the US with lots of celebs like Justin Bieber and Dababy singing their version of the hit song.
Justin Bieber was featured on Made In Lagos Deluxe with songs like Mood featuring Buju being a hit as well as Anoti.
So when Burnaboy took to his Instagram story to say that he wasn’t going to drop another album, Wizkid fans quickly took jabs at him.
