Wizkid’s New Album Morayo Makes Billboard 200 Debut and Honors His Late Mother
Wizkid’s latest album, Morayo, has made a remarkable entry into the prestigious Billboard 200 chart.
The album debuted at the 98th position, selling an impressive 13,000 units in its first week of release.
This achievement reflects Wizkid’s global appeal and the consistent love he receives from fans worldwide.
Chart Data, a platform known for tracking music charts, shared the news on X, formerly Twitter, saying, Wizkid’s Morayo debuts at 98 on this week’s Billboard 200 with 13K sold.
This marks another milestone in Wizkid’s illustrious career as Morayo becomes his fourth album to secure a spot on the Billboard 200.
Released on November 22, 2024, Morayo is a deeply personal project for Wizkid.
The album is a heartfelt tribute to his late mother, Jane Dolapo Balogun, who passed away in August 2023.
Wizkid had often spoken about the strong bond he shared with his mother, describing her as his pillar of strength and a source of inspiration.
The album’s title, Morayo, shows this connection, as it means I have found joy in Yoruba, symbolizing a journey of healing and remembrance.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
