Terry G, the renowned singer Gabriel Oche Amanyi, recently drew parallels between Wizkid and Jay-Z on the Afrobeats podcast. He asserted that Wizkid is the Nigerian equivalent of Jay-Z, a highly successful American hip-hop icon and businessman who wields significant influence in the hip-hop culture.
“Wizkid is the Jay-Z of our generation. He’s the first [born child of the new generation of Nigerian musicians] and we’ll always give it to him. One thing I like about Wizkid is his carriage. He has inspired a lot of people,” he said.
The ‘Akpako Master’ reminisced about Wizkid visiting his home in 2016 for a recording session.
“Wizkid came to my house in Ishaga in 2016 to record a song with me. I was very happy he came. We recorded 4 songs together. God bless Wizkid,” Terry G said.
“Wizkid is the Jay Z of his generation, he’s the first, what I love about him most is the way he carries himself”
