Nigerian Afrobeats and R&B singer, Joseph Akinwale Akinfenwa, professionally referred to as Joeboy, has said ace singer, Wizkid made up-and-coming artistes believe they can hit stardom in their youth.
The ‘Baby crooner’ stated this on the latest episode of the Body & Soul podcast, while talking about how Machala changed his life.
According to Joeboy, who is signed to Mr Eazi’s Empawa Africa, before Wizkid, it was difficult for young artistes to blow early.
Joeboy noted that he knew was going to become a successful musician after meeting the ‘Essence’ hit maker for the first time.
He said; “One thing I really appreciate about Wizkid is that he made young artistes believe that they could pop at a young age.
Before Wiz, if any artiste pop, it was probably at a very later stage in life. But after Wiz young people started coming through.”
