Nigerian superstar Wizkid is set to make a major comeback in 2024, and fans got a taste of it at his exclusive release party in Paris. On September 29, 2024, the Grammy-winning artist filled a packed Paris nightclub to celebrate the upcoming release of his new single, “Piece of My Heart,” a collaboration with American singer Brent Faiyaz.
Fans and industry insiders alike joined Wizkid for the event, signaling the start of a new era for the global music icon. “Piece of My Heart” will officially drop in October, kicking off anticipation for his sixth studio album, Morayo—a heartfelt tribute to his late mother, who passed away in 2023.
The celebration also coincided with the 10th anniversary of Wizkid’s classic album Ayo, home to the international hit “Ojuelegba.” Fans paid homage to the album and the song that played a pivotal role in popularizing Nigerian music on the global stage.
Wizkid describes Morayo as his best work yet, and this upcoming collaboration with Brent Faiyaz offers a glimpse into the emotional depth and artistry the album promises. For Faiyaz, this collaboration follows his earlier work with another Nigerian star, Tems, on her track “Found” from her EP If Orange Was A Place.
The buzz surrounding Morayo continues to build, as fans eagerly await what promises to be one of the biggest releases of the year.
