Nigerian music sensation Wizkid has taken to Instagram to announce his latest album titled ‘Morayo’ while rejecting the label of an Afrobeats artiste.
In a series of posts on his Instagram stories Friday night, the Grammy-winning artist, renowned for hits like ‘Ojuelegba’, made it clear that his upcoming project is not tailored for fans of Afrobeats, urging them not to download the album if they identify as such.
“Album name ‘Morayo’ best I ever made. I am not an Afrobeats artistes. Don’t call me that,” Wizkid stated emphatically.
Wizkid chose to christen the album ‘Morayo’ after his late mother, Mrs. Juliana Morayo Balogun, who passed away on August 18, 2023, in London.
Adding further, he declared, “If you like Afrobeats please don’t download my album, I’m not Afro anything. And please if you like ‘Pakuromo’ Wizkid, don’t like this album. In fact, delete me from your playlist and life.”
Wizkid also issued a stern warning to bloggers, urging them not to share his new album upon its release.
