According to him, this is his proudest moment.

He wrote on Twitter;

“Dear @wizkidayo, I‘ve been in the entertainment business as an investor since 1980 and one of my proudest moments for Nigerian music is the day you defeated both Jayz and @Drake, two of the biggest stars in the world, to win the Best international Act at the #MOBOAwards well done”

At the Just concluded MOBO Awards 2017 that took place in Leeds at the First Direct Arena, Wizkid and Davido have taken home some major awards.

Wizkid won the category of Best international Act against fellow nominees which are great American artistes and legends such as JayZ, Cardi-B, Solange, Drake, SZA, DJ Khaled, Travis Scott, Migos and Kendrick Lamar…….now that is the wave of a Baba Nla like he fondly calls himself and we are excited about this height of recognized international acclaim.
