The Nigerian singer has just gotten his first nomination for an International hip-hip award. And it is all thanks to his collaboration with Drake on the hit song, ‘One Dance’.
Recall that ‘One Dance’ took Wizkid to international charts, and also made him the first Nigerian whose song was named the longest running UK no. 1 single in digital era.
According to Complex, other artistes who shine this year for hip-hop’s big night include Drake who raked in 14 nominations, Future who got 10, and Kanye West following closely with 8 nominations.
