HOW WIZKID IS FAST BECOMING A GLOBAL PHENOMENON WITH AFRO POP CULTURE

WIZKID as he's widely known is fast becoming a global phenomenon with the Afro pop culture. His music and rthymical style has grown to a point wher multi National stars run to him when they needed to produce a continental hit.

Artiste like Drake, Justin Bieber, Queen B has jumped on his style and rhythm of Afro pop culture and enjoy immense success in his contributions.

His influence on African pop culture is difficult to overstate as is the impact he's made on a generation of young artists through which he won a Grammy recently with a track he did with Queen B.

Prince Gyasi, the celebrated photographer and visual artist behind the photo shoot session he used for his GQ appearance says he first saw Wizkid perform at a 2011 Fabolous show in Ghana.

“It was my first ever concert as a kid,” says Gyasi, “and Wiz was one of the supporting artists who came onstage.” Wizkid was just 20 at the time and didn't have an album to promote, but his presence was so enrapturing that a grainy video of the performance ended up going viral.

It seemed to announce to aspiring young creatives like Gyasi that, if an African artist like Wiz could make their mark on the world, perhaps they could too.

Almost a decade or so after that concert, Prince Gyasi and Wiz would finally meet in person, crossing paths at the penthouse owned by the woman they both describe as their “big sister,” the supermodel Naomi Campbell.

He and Wiz were so into working together, in fact, that their photo session stretched out for more than eight hours with Wiz dancing, smoking, and vibing his way through one alien landscape after another, his default setting one of unhurry.

Now, wiz creation is accepted around the world and every artiste interested in the Afro pop culture only sees him and always want to work with him and have a pieces of his cake.
