1. WIZKID
Finally, Wizkid returns to his long deserving number one spot having been displaced by the likes of Olamide and Davido in times past. His hard-hitting and epic comeback was very retro staged like we never saw it coming, kinda. Since abandoning the Nigerian shores and sought fostership with international music mates, Tinie Tempah, Chris Brown, Wale, Tyga and other goons from the ATL hood, Wiz had created a vacuum that desperately needed to be felt. But suffice to say it was all a plan in due process. While we enjoyed offerings from his AYO album and other singular releases, we woke one fine day to a Drake refix of ‘Ojuelegba’, which also had British rapper, Skepta on it. Later on Wizkid would roller coast into a series of social media trolling for material/intellectual theft. While the issue gradually climaxed with one new allegation as time passed, Drake finally announced (after several insinuations) that Wizkid would feature on his much anticipated album, Views. Prior to this revelation, Wiz and Chris Brown had performed for the first time, their yet-to-be-released collaborative number ‘African Bad Girl’. He had also performed with Akon again and even got featured on R.Kelly’s latest album on the track ‘Thank You’.
