On 14th November, Apple Music broadcasted the exclusive live performance of Afrobeats megastar Wizkid and it was nothing short of an incredible display from the Grammy-winner.

Wizkid graced the stage an hour later with loud cheers from fans who had come to see him perform songs from his new album. The performance was a nostalgic exploration of his discography as he rolled back the years and gave the audience a performance of some of his classic songs including ‘Soco’, ‘Caro’, ‘Don’t Dull’, ‘Fever’, ‘Ojuelegba’ to mention a few.
From ‘More Love, Less Ego’, Wizkid performed ‘Bad To Me’, ‘Money and Love’, and ‘Balance’. He also brought out Ayra Starr for their collaboration ‘2 Sugar’.
Assisted by his disc jockey DJ Tunez, a live band, and backup singers, Wizkid delivered a stellar live rendition that gave the songs off his new album a refreshing feel.
