As it stands today Monday, April 11, 2016, the Ojuelegba crooner has 100,000 more followers added to the two million mark which he reached on Monday, April 4, 2016.
With this feat, the entertainer becomes the most followed Nigerian on Twitter as of today, a spot previously occupied by Christ Embassy head pastor and founder Chris Oyakhilome.
In 2013, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was top on Twitter as the most followed Nigerian person with a record of one million followers but over time and with the greater global recognition of Nigerian entertainment, more celebrities have outnumbered Oyakhilome on the microblogging platform.
For instance, pop star Davido has 1.75 million followers, comedian Basket Mouth has 1.08 million followers, Don Jazzy has 1.49 million followers, Tiwa Savage has 1.4 million and D’banj has 1.45 million followers among others.
With Wizkid’s 2.1 million followers in addition to his 1.7 million followers on Instagram, the pop singer enjoys a massive 5.1 million followers when combined with his 1.3 million Facebook fans.
This is another plus for the singer whose recent global recognition has seen him enjoy a music collaboration with American rapper Drake for the song One Dance which dropped in April, 2016.
The song comes on the heels of Drake’s remix of Ojuelegba which dropped in July, 2015.
Foremost entertainment platform Billboard described One Dance as one “[which] could very easily become a dancefloor magnet”.
With One Dance, Wizkid appeared on the Billboard’s Twitter Trending 140 Chart in April 2016, another feat he currently enjoys as the only Nigerian artiste to have entered the foremost music chart.
This is another positive in Wizkid’s international push musically, even though his image has been smeared of late by issues hovering around various social media dramas and baby mama troubles.
