Nigerian-American rapper Wale has opened up about his support for Nigerian Afrobeats star Wizkid early in his career.
During a livestream with Carter Efe, Wale said he played an important part in introducing Wizkid to an international audience when he took him to his first BET Awards show.
The rapper also revealed that he once hosted Wizkid in Beverly Hills, California, referring to him as his “boy.”
“I have been following Nigerian music, there are so many Nigerian artists that I like listening to. I don’t know some of them but I like listening to their music.
“There are some I know personally like Wizkid. Me and Wizkid have been cool for almost 10 years now. I remember taking him to his first BET Awards show.
“That is my boy. I once accommodated him at Beverly Hills for a whole summer. We were just writing music. We made a lot of songs together like ‘Drop for me’,” he said.
KanyiDaily recalls that Wale recently revealed that it is not possible for him to get married because it is not the life for him.
