Grammy Award-winning singer Wizkid has shared that he recorded all his biggest hit tracks while seated, emphasizing a relaxed approach to creating chart-toppers.
In a widely-shared video, Wizkid revealed that he doesn’t believe in overworking to produce his biggest hit tracks. The talented Afrobeats artist behind the hit song “Essence” also expressed his disinterest in actively promoting his music or participating in media interviews. Wizkid said …
“All my biggest songs from ‘Holla At Your Boy’ to ‘Soco’, ‘Joro’, ‘Ojuelegba’, I recorded them sitting down,” he said.
“You [P2J] know how my things be for Lagos. You’ve been in my house. You know what I do. I’m chilling. You get me, no stress.
“You see promo, I hate doing that sh*t. You know press, I hate doing all that sh*t, bro. I know exactly what the people want. [Producer] P2J is the only n*gga that understands me.
‘All we have to do is turn on the mic. The amazing thing is that the world is now globalised, you don’t need anyone to lie to you.”

Meanwhile, Wizkid is gearing up to kick off the “Morayo” era with his upcoming track, “RRR,” set to be released at 1pm Nigerian time. This new release will mark a significant creative shift for the Nigerian superstar and is already generating considerable excitement among fans and industry insiders.
Known for his genre-defining contributions to Afrobeats, Wizkid has consistently blended African rhythms with global sounds. The release of “RRR” is highly anticipated as it represents the first major release in the “Morayo” era, expected to showcase a fresh evolution of his signature style. October 1st, which is Nigeria’s Independence Day, is a symbolic release date that might suggest “RRR” will carry themes of pride, culture, or celebration of his roots.
As one of Africa’s most influential artists, Wizkid’s new music is always a major event, and “RRR” is anticipated to continue his legacy of having biggest hit tracks. The countdown to October 1st has begun, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next big track from Starboy.
