In 2012,

WIzkid became the FIRST AFRICAN ARTIST in History to sell out HMV APOLLO (5000) Capacity in London. As of that time, you hardly see African artists out there selling out 3k capacity outside African. But this young man right here did that in 2012 ????????#WorldWizkidDay pic.twitter.com/ohGoic0ePl
