In a professional twist, Grammy winning singer, Wizkid has announced his directional debut as he releases the visuals for his recent hit, ‘Kese’ on March 5, 2025.
This marks a major milestone in his career, which also presents an unusual feat for him as it happens only in rare cases for artist to direct his own music.
Not only has Wizkid achieved this feat as first, but joined the host of Beyonce, Taylor Swift Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga and Kanye West whom are also some of the Grammy winners who have directed their own videos.
The song released as the second lead single off his sixth album ‘Morayo’ enjoyed immediate success and broke the record for the highest opening day streams for any song on Spotify Nigeria.
The music video is the second from the album after ‘Piece of My Heart’ featuring Brent Faiyaz, which recently won the prize for Best Contemporary Duo or Group at the 2025 NAACP Awards.
The hitmaker is gearing up for a busy 2025, where he will be on the road for his Morayo tour. He recently announced dates in France, Netherlands, and Germany as he sets to go on tour.
The hitmaker will be headlining the 12,000-capacity Velodrome Arena in Berlin Germany on May 21 before taking to the Ahoy RTM Stage in Rotterdam Netherlands on May 23. On May 25, Wizkid will be headlining the famous 20,000-capacity Accor Arena.
The tour is coming off the back of the release of Wizkid’s sixth album ‘Morayo’. The project released in November 2024 features guest appearances from Afrobeats star Asake, French hitmaker Tiakola, French-Gabonese singer Anais Cardot, and American R&B stars Jasmine Sulivan and Brent Faiyaz.
Wizkid performed songs from the albums in several surprise concert appearances during the 2024 Detty December festive season. Fans will be excited to see Wizkid back on the road as the singer has achieved several notable feats with his tour including selling out the O2 Arena for three consecutive nights.
Wizkid also achieved a major stride when he headlined the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. The highly anticipated tour will see the hitmaker get back on the road to perform some of the hit records with which he has cemented his place as one of the greatest Nigerian artists of the 21st century.
