If any foreign music aficionado took a minute to ponder on African songs, he/she would quickly agree that the captivating style of the song would surely be among trending and top lists. But as Odumodu-black captures perfectly: "Wizkid is not for the list." Recent comments made by Odumodu-black on Wizkid are something many fans and industry insiders can relate to. In his words: "I for no even rate Wizkid top 5 artistes of all time from Nigeria... he's not anyone mate, he's in his league divine to mankind!!
Wizkid, born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, now represents an echelon that lives far outside the standard benchmarks of music excellence. His influence and legacy have not only transformed the African music archetypes but have also defined a new trajectory on an international scale.
Wizkid Legacy Beyond Rankings
While singing "Wizkid na Baba," what Odumodu-black acknowledges is that of course, no one else compares. This isn't even about music charts or award numbers, this is a man who has cemented his name in not just African but global culture and deserves to enter the Hall of Fame. The story of how he went from a street kid in Lagos to becoming an international superstar is a touchstone that speaks directly to his artistry, disciplined work ethos and artistic innovation.

Conclusion
Sean Tizzle now went about claiming Starboy Wizkid while highlighting how he inspired him - well, I think we all need to give that praise to Baba Nla! It goes way beyond music and fashion, culture even expands into social movements. That is why Wizkid belongs in a class of his making and should be seen beyond numbers.
