'I predicted Wizkid’s phenomenal musical success' - Peter Okoye brags

Nigerian singer and half of P-Square music duo, Peter Okoye has stated that he played a role in Grammy-award-winning superstar, Wizkid’s days of little beginning.

According to Peter, he had high hopes for Wizkid during his early days as a new artiste and he was signed to Banky W’s EME Records.

He said this on the latest episode of The 77 Podcast alongside his partner, Paul.

He recalled how he told some reporters that Wizkid was going to dominate the music industry in the near future.

Peter Okoye said: “We [P-Square] were never the type of artist that looked down on anybody. If you remember, there was a video that went viral where it was P-Square concert and Wizkid was opening for us.

“So, they [reporters] kept on interviewing only P-Square and we were like, okay, guys, hold on. What about him? They said… I said no, this guy is going to take over tomorrow.”

Wizkid is currently the most streamed African artist on Spotify, with over four billion streams.
