After months of teasing, Wizkid, the Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, has finally delivered ‘Morayo’, his highly anticipated fifth studio album.

In October, he released ‘Piece Of My Heart’ and followed up with ‘Kese (Dance)’ in November.

Born Ayodeji Balogun, Wizkid gained prominence in 2011 when he released his debut album ‘Superstar’.

He has released four additional albums including, ‘Ayo’ in 2014, ‘Sound From The Other Side’ in 2017, ‘Made In Lagos’ in 2020, and ‘More Love, Less Ego’ in 2022.
