Wizkid and Asake skip amapiano frenzy for a breezy tease of their EP, “REAL”

Wizkid and Asake’s new single, "Jogodo," stakes its claim as the lead act from their upcoming collaborative EP, REAL (Vol. 1), due January 23. Merging Wizkid’s polished finesse with Asake’s high-energy Fuji undercurrents, the track tiptoes between eras without tripping over their stylistic distinctions.

Produced on a lush, percussion-heavy groove with brass flourishes, "Jogodo" avoids the amapiano frenzy for a more composed feel. Lyrically playful and sung in Yoruba and Nigerian Pidgin, it sways in unison with the no-stress exhales it suggests.

Wizkid stirs digital chaos with grief-laced jabs at rivals on December 5

Interpolating personal grief into a digital feud, Wizkid triggers widespread uproar after unleashing a flurry of barbed tweets on December 5, 2025. His posts ridicule rivals with sharp jabs referencing death, irrelevance, and declining album sales.

One tweet mocks past bereavements, another questions the existence of his opponents, and yet another derides a rival album’s commercial performance—arousing support from his base and censure from others in equal measure.

Wizkid crowns himself ‘001’—fans hear shade, not celebration

Wizkid sets the internet ablaze by proclaiming himself the ‘001’ of the music industry via Snapchat. The declaration lands with more of a jab than a celebration, ruffling feathers and igniting backlash across fan bases and fellow artists alike.

Critics accuse him of slighting the genre that opened doors for him, raising eyebrows at what some interpret as erasure cloaked in bravado. He shifts gears quickly, dropping hints about an unexpected pivot—possibly to boxing or wrestling.
