Opinion: Why Wizkid is not a legend yet

There has been several arguments as to whether popular musician Wizkid could be called a legend. Writer Tobiloba Oluwatoyin writes on why he hasn’t attained legendary status yet. First, let me put this disclaimer out, “I’m not hating, Wizkid is a star”. With that said let me burst your bubble, your favorite artiste, Wizkid, is not a legend and there are numerous reasons why. Chill, we will get to it in time so far you don’t send me a series of tweets before you finish reading this. Starboy has done some amazing things over the past year and it has been extraordinary, in fact, there is no other Nigerian artiste close to him presently. He has songs with artistes that most Nigerian artistes only see through the television. He has trailed a path that those before him have gone and found little success. With his new body of work, Sounds From The Other Side, one would think Wizkid has arrived and deserves the legendary status most of his fans have been adorning him with but he is still way far from that pinnacle yet. He is not the first to try to break into the American industry and succeed, the likes of D’banj has tried it and after some time found it unwelcoming.
