Wizkid was born AyodejiIbrahim Balogun on July 16, 1990, in Lagos, Nigeria. He was born into a polygamous family - his father had three wives. His mother is a Christian and his father a Muslim. Wizkid who followed his mother to the church began singing in his local church at the tender age of 11 years. He was not only a goodvocalist but also a lead singer.Before his big break came in 2009, Wizkid released a couple of albums. As part of the church choir, he produced an album. He later went on to form a singing group with five of his church friends, the group was known as "Glorious Five".
Before he finally settled for the stage name Wizkid, he performed using other names such as "Glorious Five", as well as "Lil Prinz". While using the name Lil Prinz, he was able to record an album with 7 tracks. Wizkid’s big break in the music industry came in the year 2009. This is after successfully collaborating with renowned musician M.I. The two artists produced the award-winning track "Fast Money" which not only went ahead to receive many nominations and awards but also received a lot of airplay both in Nigeria as well as in many other African countries. In 2010, he released Holla at Your Boy.
The song earned him the Next Rated award at the 2011 Headies and he was nominated for Best Pop Single at the aforementioned awards show. The music video for the same song was nominated for Most Gifted Newcomer Video at the 2011 Channel O MusicVideo Awards. It was also nominated for Best Afro Pop Video at the 2011 Nigeria Music Video Awards (NMVA). His music career has grown ever since and has had the privilege of working with famous artists both locally and international. Locally, he has worked with likes of 2Face Idibia, Naeto C, Sound Sultan, award-winning producer OJB,among others.

In 2015, the singer became one of Globacom’s brand ambassador for N180 million.
Late last night, a video surfaced on the media space where Davido openly addressed and cleared doubts on a recent Twitter spat with Wizkid. And all the while I kept thinking, what’s a Nigerian music industry without these two - Davido and Wizkid? For Davido, the stakes changed this 2014 when he became Africa’s man of the moment, carting away all the awards in the categories he was nominated - a reward for the test of his music artship and career consistency. Wizkid on the other hand, seems to be struggling with a talent that has almost waned. When a Wizkid (for goodness sake) feels the need to fire a shot at Davido on something as little as artiste prominence, then you know he’s feeling threatened.
Left to me, I’d have thought that artiste prominence wouldn’t even be reason enough for a spat between these two uber talented and rightly placed guys. But when Davido is fast catching on in places where Wizkid thought he reigned supreme, that might pose a bit of discomfort. Nigerian-in-diaspora rapper, Wale added a dramatic twist to this rivalry. Wizkid featured Wale first on Drop and even got him to tweet and Instagram an awful lot about him. Guy was really feeling like a boss. I think I even read somewhere that Wizkid began acting like he owned Wale, well until Olamide came along and got out with Make Us Proud while featuring him but no, shots weren’t fired. Prior to this time, it would be only 2face and Timaya who had international artistes with such big weights for music features. So while Wizkid ruled the younger generation rolling around with Chris Brown, Rihanna, Tyga and Justin Bieber, little Davido was supposed to be okay with his African crew comprising Mafikizolo, Sarkodie, Toofan and Diamond Platnumz. But since his global announcement on the MTV and BET platform, he’s geared himself up for an international breakout that will shelve Wizkid’s smoke blowing famzitude in a tight corner. And he’s achieved this feat by simply keeping at his music art.
A man who thinks Wizkid is better than Fela, has voiced out his opinion on the popular social media website, Twitter. According to @mazedamouth he would prefer to listen to the contemporary tune of Wizkid’s songs than Fela’s whom he believed wasn’t good enough and simply over hyped in his time. And he also wrote that most modern music fans that revere Fela are only riding on the nostalgia his songs created while they were growing up listening to the songs. I’d rather listen to Wizkid than Fela. Maybe I’m an unsophisticated brute, but at least I’m not going to be driven to near-suicide by the grating, tone deaf singing of a fake deep hack who coasts on the power of the background instrumentals. What has Fela done that matches Wizkid’s tun tun tun tun in Fever? Many of you who extol Fela’s prowess are manipulated by the unseen yet strong strings of nostalgia. Your father probably played Fela’s music on a lazy Saturday and listening to him now reminds you of idyllic times when life was simple. Some are enraptured by the man’s charm & charisma. His fierce and unyielding resistance to power. But this is no substitute for talent. We are very prone to confusing history with excellence. The past with greatness. But we must wake from this lulled deceitful existence.

A rash reaction led to what could have been a major fight between two of Nigeria’s biggest acts. 2017. This ‘beef’ is becoming serious o! The fight happened as a result of an assault on Teknoby Wizkid’s long-term manager, Sunday Are.

Recall that although it had initially seemed as though the singer took sides with Davido against Wizkid, the two of them collaborated on the freshly released Mama. Tekno then went over to greet them and stretched his hand to shake hands with Are. The elderly man took offence at the ‘disrespect’ shown by Tekno and reacted by punching him. ‘Sunday Are was annoyed that a small boy like Tekno can be so rude to shake hands with him instead of bowing down or prostrating’, our source who chose to be anonymous said.
‘He didn’t even calm down, he just punched Tekno and pushed him. Immediately the backstage area erupted as people around Wizkid gathered round Tekno and threatened to beat him up further.

On the other hand, Tekno has been prevailed on by Ubi Franklin, Paul Okoye and others not to react to the matter on social media.
