Afrobeats star and Starboy Record head honcho, Ibrahim Ayodeji Balogun, well known as Wizkid, is set to bring down the iconic Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) with his much-anticipated ‘Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T) Experience Concert’, a show already being positioned as one of the headline shows of this year’s ‘Detty December’ season.

Known for electrifying live shows and a catalogue packed with global hits, Wizkid concert experience is always a cultural phenomenon, with jaw-dropping performances, surprise collaborations, and an unforgettable connection with the audience.

Scheduled to hold on Sunday, December 28, the G.O.A.T experience concert according to industry insiders, is “long overdue and perfectly timed.”

For fans, the concert feels less like another show and more like a long-awaited homecoming from one of Africa’s most influential music exports. Recall that the Essence hitmaker has spent the past few years touring internationally and expanding his sound; hence, the G.O.A.T concert gives him a chance to reconnect physically with the city that raised him.

Lagos remains at the centre of his mythology: Surulere roots, mainland grind, and the early hustle that shaped him to be the superstar the world now knows.

Speaking on the preparations, the organisers said the G.O.A.T Concert is designed to celebrate Wizkid’s evolution over the past decade—from his breakout as a teenage sensation to his transformation into one of Africa’s most influential global artistes.

According to them, the goal is to deliver an “unforgettable night,” combining music, culture, and immersive production.

Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has claimed that he has assisted more people in the music industry than his colleagues Olamide, Don Jazzy, Wizkid and Davido.

Speaking in a video broadcast, the Zazu crooner stated that his assistance is not only limited to those in the music industry but also extends to the less privileged.

He explained that, unlike most of his colleagues who are egoistic, he associates freely with ordinary people and even identifies with them on social media.

Portable said, “Many Nigerian celebrities don’t post their fans even if they dance to their songs or promote them. But I repost every positive video about me.

“Even with your money, many celebrities won’t let you feature them as an upcoming artist. But I help people freely. I have helped more people in the music industry than Don Jazzy, Olamide, Wizkid, and Davido.

“Help is when you see a homeless person and take them home, shelter them, clothe and feed them. You also take them to their first studio session and pay for it. Anything other than that, you are just doing business. A lot of the people claiming that they are helping others in the music industry are just doing business.

“Most of the time, when the artists they are using for business decide to be independent or move forward, they label them ungrateful. How are they ungrateful? You only used them for business.”
