Popular Nigerian artiste Joseph Akinwale, who goes by the stage name Joeboy, claims that meeting Afrobeats superstar Wizkid early in his career was a hint that he would be successful.
This was said by the "Focus" singer in an interview posted on his YouTube page on Thursday.
The singer further claimed that Wizkid has had a significant influence on the music business by encouraging young musicians to have confidence in themselves.
He said, “I said I’d make it the day I meet Wizkid. In 2018, I followed Eazi to a show when I saw Wizkid chatting with Eazi. He looked at me and asked me to come, and he chatted with me, and I told myself that this was the sign I needed.
“What I admire about Wizkid is that he has inspired young artists to believe that they can be successful.”
“I said the day that I see Wizkid, I would know for sure that I will be successful,” Joeboy said.
