Though Nigerian at heart, Afropop continues to dominate charts across the globe. One only needs to look at Wizkid’s exceptional career. Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria’s cultural capital, the singer-songwriter is among today’s biggest names in African music. He’s also one of the first Afropop artists to help the genre reach and conquer Western music scenes. Wizkid’s past collaborations range from songs with American R&B singer H.E.R to British rap star Skepta. His fourth studio album Made in Lagos, which is aptly named to pay homage to his humble beginnings, also became more than just the highest-ever Nigerian album to chart on the Billboard 200—because it breached the UK’s Top 20.
