“Wizkid was a local artist before I brushed up his career” – Akon reveals (Video)
Senegalese-American artist, Akon, has stated that he played a key role in launching the international career of Nigerian Afrobeats star, Ayo Balogun Ibrahim, widely known as Wizkid.
According to Akon, Wizkid was still a local act when he signed him to his label in 2008 and helped refine his craft.
Akon said …
“In 2008, I spent my time in Nigeria developing what you see today as Afrobeats. And all of them can attest to it
“Wizkid was the first [Nigerian] artist we signed officially at that time. And then we went on to sign a group called P-Square, which was the first [Nigerian] group that made it internationally.
“Wizkid was just the local Nigerian star before we touched him and it opened up to a bigger market. I wouldn’t want to take credit for all of it but I can tell you that if we didn’t do what we did, Afrobeats would still have been in the same position it was when we got there [Nigeria in 2008]. That I can tell you 100 per cent.
“I brought the business side of music to Afrobeats because all they [Nigerian artists at that time] knew about was the creative [side of music]. There was no business, no infrastructure, none of it attached to it.”
