Wizkid,
a.k.a Star boy, has defeated his arch-rival Davido, to become the best African
male artiste at the 2017 All African Music Award (AFRIMA) held in Lagos on
Sunday.
This
win has once again renewed the battle of supremacy between the two popular
artistes and is coming shortly after Davido edged Wizkid out at the 2017 MTV
EMA by winning the “Best African Act”.
Wizkid
got a rare international recognition in 2016 after he had a collaboration
effort with American international Drake with their Collabo song “One Dance sold in 15 countries
including U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia.
Earlier
this year, Wizkid became the first Afrobeat artist to appear in the 2018
Guinness World Records for his contribution to Drake’s hit song “One Dance’’.
In
his acceptance speech, the Ojuelegba crooner thanked 2baba and DJ Jimmy Jatt
for their contributions to the African music landscape.
Wizkid,
born on July 16, 1990, a song writer and a solo artiste started his foray into
music at the tender age of 11 with his band “Glorious Five’’ a group formed
from a church choir. He however took the music world by storm with his all-time
hit track “Holla at your Boy’’ in 2010 and another hit track “Ayo’’ in 2014.
