Wizkid: 'Made in Lagos,'

Apple Music’s Artist of the Year - Africa, Wizkid has had a calendar year of unbelievable milestones. His fourth album, Made in Lagos, blends R&B and pop with the Afrobeats sound he helped pioneer, but the Nigerian star is determined to keep his sound rooted in Africa. Expressing his gratitude for being given the opportunity to work with artists like Beyoncé and Justin Bieber, he sensed a change coming, and after working on his record for over 3 years, he felt ready to rise to the top. His ascension to stardom has taught him self love, the importance of family, and that good things come to those who wait. The Nigerian artist talks to Dotty about the past 12 months.
