Terry G, the famous singer Gabriel Oche Amanyi, recently compared Wizkid to Jay-Z on the Afrobeats podcast. He believes that Wizkid is the Nigerian equivalent of Jay-Z, who is a highly successful American hip-hop legend and businessman with immense influence in the hip-hop culture.
“Wizkid is the Jay-Z of our generation. He’s the first [born child of the new generation of Nigerian musicians] and we’ll always give it to him. One thing I like about Wizkid is his carriage. He has inspired a lot of people,” he said.
The ‘Akpako Master’ recalled how Wizkid came to his house back in 2016 for a recording session with him.
“Wizkid came to my house in Ishaga in 2016 to record a song with me. I was very happy he came. We recorded 4 songs together. God bless Wizkid,” Terry G said.
“Wizkid is the Jay Z of his generation, he’s the first, what I love about him most is the way he carries himself”
