Afrobeats had a hard time gaining notoriety a decade ago, but today, it has become an integral component of music charts all around the world. Wizkid, who was instrumental in propelling the genre into the mainstream, is responsible for a significant portion of this transition and can be given most of the credit for it. Also his record breaking sold out concert at hotspur stadium.
Because of his five albums, his collaborations with other international singers, and his enormous following all over the world, he has become a significant player in the field of music production and distribution.
An electric buzz of excitement spread across the room as the clock ticked closer and closer to the time of Wizkid's spectacular appearance. The enchantment of his performance was anticipated by thousands of devoted followers who eagerly awaited it.
When he eventually took the stage, the arena was converted into a spectacular galaxy of flashing phone lights, which set the mood for an incredible performance that will not soon be forgotten.
The music of Wizkid, which included a seamless synthesis of English and Yoruba lyrical content, combined with engaging percussion and soft saxophone melodies, produced an appealing mood that had couples and friends moving to the beat.
When Wizkid performed chart-topping hits like "Ginger" and "Mood" from his critically praised album "Made in Lagos" in 2020, the night reached new heights. The excitement of the audience skyrocketed, reaching a fever pitch following the alluring "True Love." The likelihood of an unexpected guest appearance was then hinted at, which caused murmurs and excitement to spread across the arena before it was announced.
In spite of this, Wizkid returned to the stage by himself and led the crowd on a tour through some of his older songs rather than exposing the identity of the mystery performer.
Even while they enjoyed all that was going on, some of the most devoted fans had the wish that there had been more extravagant stage displays to fit the magnitude of the stadium.

They longed for more time so that they could thoroughly relish the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The night was a monument to the success of afrobeats and the unstoppable energy of Wizkid, notwithstanding the mild confusion that was caused by the unexpected finish.

As the arena was cleared out and the attendees made their way out of the venue, they took with them the recollections of a wonderful night in which they had celebrated the prowess of afrobeats music and the notoriety of Wizkid.
