One of the most commercially successful African musicians of all time, Wizkid&#8217;s talent and authenticity transcend borders and brings African music to the world stage, challenging the stereotypes in Western media and reclaiming African identity.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3859678367\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Wizkid rose from humble beginnings to become an influential, internationally recognized GRAMMY\u00ae-winning musician. With no music industry infrastructure in Nigeria, he was fueled by raw talent, determination, and his belief that success would not only change his and his family&#8217;s lives, but also the global perception of Nigeria and the continent of Africa. Wizkid&#8217;s story takes us across Africa and London, meeting the fans and friends who support him, and exploring the longstanding, complex history between the United Kingdom and Nigeria and the aftermath of its colonial past. As the internet and streaming platforms enable world music to smash through borders, Wizkid uses his voice to challenge colonial legacies, and shift the narrative to offer a fuller picture of present-day Africa and its cultural influence. As the first African artist to headline Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Wizkid&#8217;s stardom underscores how global recognition is a form of rebellion, a way to amplify and honor both African culture and African pride.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>&#8220;Music Box&#8221;<\/em> series, which debuted on HBO in 2021, is a collection of documentary films exploring pivotal moments in the music world.<\/p>\n<p>Featured participants: Femi Anikulapo-Kuti, musician; Jada Pollock, manager &amp; partner; Julie Adenuga, UK radio host; Seni Saraki, CEO, Native Magazine; Sunday Are, first manager; Starboy, fan; Karen Binns, creative director and stylist; Tops, tour manager.<\/p>\n<p>Credits: HBO Documentary Films presents MUSIC BOX: WIZKID: LONG LIVE LAGOS, A Ringer Films Production, A Macro and MGX Creative Production.
