Nigerian singer Seyi Shay has described Wizkid as the “greatest of all time” in the Afrobeats music scene.
She made the declaration during an interview on The Honest Bunch podcast, where she reflected on her relationship with the superstar and praised his rare talent and intelligence.
“That I respect to this day. I still think he’s the greatest. I still do. Like there’s no way around it. I’ve worked with everybody in this industry and to me, he’s the greatest. I don’t care what anyone says,” she said.
The singer went on to recall a studio session that left her in awe of Wizkid’s creativity.
“Wizkid, we became genuine friends now. It was now no longer industry friends because I realized that he’s actually so smart and so talented. Like I’ve actually seen him record while eating. And that was mad to me. I don’t know where he gets his inspiration from, but he’s like a magician,” she added.
Seyi Shay also revealed that Wizkid often confided in her about his experiences in the industry, advising her to remain cautious and disciplined as she navigated her own career.
“And I am attracted, heavily attracted to people with such levels of talent. And he used to tell me a lot about how people behave in this industry. So coming in new, I have to watch out for things like this, things like that, you know, and just be on guard. And, you know, and I wish I listened and not wasn’t so free because he does it so well. He’s very disciplined. Like he knows how to, you know, yeah. And that’s, he lives by that. And this is the things that he used to tell me. So from that, I was like, yo, you’re really cool. Yeah. But he was already famous. He was already wiz,” she said.
