Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has hinted at a new album, saying he is having fun executing the project.
The Grammy Award-winning artiste made this known in a post on his X handle.
He wrote: “Having so much fun making this next one! Can’t wait to share 
#album”.
Responding to the anticipation and exchanges among fans, Wizkid wrote: “E go drop, make una stop dey fight”.
The post has generated excitement among fans, who have been expecting the singer’s next full-length project.
Wizkid, however, did not disclose the title or release date of the forthcoming album.
The new project would follow Morayo, Wizkid’s sixth studio album released in November 2024.
Morayo, which was dedicated to his late mother, Jane Balogun, featured collaborations with several artistes, including Brent Faiyaz, Asake, Jazmine Sullivan, Tiakola and Anaïs Cardot.
The sensational singer has released other major projects including Made in Lagos, More Love, Less Ego and Sounds From the Other Side.
In another development, another Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Asake, has put on an electrifying performance at the 19,800-capacity Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.
The “Mr. Money” crooner performed before a large audience over the weekend as part of his In God We Trust World Tour, further showcasing the growing international appeal of Nigerian Afrobeats.
Videos from the concert shared on social media showed fans singing along to the artiste’s songs, while several members of the audience held up their mobile phones to capture the performance.
The concert also featured South African Amapiano DJ and producer, Uncle Waffles.
Asake’s performance in Toronto is part of his ongoing North American tour, taking Afrobeats to major cities and international audiences.
He is expected to continue the North American leg of the tour with scheduled performances in venues across Canada and the United States.
Nigerian artistes have in recent years expanded their audiences beyond Africa through international tours, collaborations and performances, contributing to the visibility of the country’s contemporary music and creative industry.
