Wizkid

Just days after the release of Drake‘s ‘One Dance’ official single featuring Wizkid which made it to  number 2 on iTunes USA and  number 1 in several countries, Essence announces Wizkid as part of the annual Essence festivalline up billed to hold in New Orleans, Louisiana between June 30 and July 3.

 He will be performing alongside Mariah Carey, Maxwell, Kendrick Lamar and several other international artistes.

This gives the Starboy’s music a strong platform and huge opportunity to get some R&B/Hip-Hop fans to get familiar and hopefully love his sound making him crossover stronger to the U.S and International global market.

The pop star became the first Nigerian artist to emerge on Billboard’s Twitter Last 24 hours chart courtesy of his feature in Drake’s ‘One dance‘ song.
