How Wizkid made history in London last night

The starboy was due to make a debut outing at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the Albert Sessions last night and hours after his performance, what weAfricans have is another chapter of history rewritten.

With last night’s performance, Wizkid became the first African artiste to headline a show and sell out the Royal Albert Hall. The Royal Albert described Wiz as a globally adored music superstar and last night’s accomplishment has now become another feather in his hugely embellished cap.

Up until 22 September, Wizkid’s collaborative track with Drake ‘One Dance’ was the most streamed song on Spotify, a feat that earned him a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The Royal Albert Hall with a capacity of a little over 5,000 filled up with fans while thousands of others streamed live on Wizkid’s Facebook page. His one-hour, standalone performance featured hit tracks from his early days in the industry to his recent days as Africa’s biggest artiste.
