Wizkid was just a local Nigerian star before we touched him and opened him up to a bigger market -- Akon.

The above is to address recent questions on the statement we shared. We’re committed to posting verified info! #NaijaPR #FactsMatter

take the journey

But I see no issues with this though! Someone has always got to lift someone, the context he spoke with isn’t showing that he brags about it… he simply discovered a talent and blew it to an international standard!

U can hate all you want but Akon isn’t lieing

His statement is not false. Y'all jumping on the wiz aspect, there's a whole lot of sense in the entire clip. He humbly even said he wont want to take credit for the whole thing

And then come to think of it, our uranium silvers and gold are being taken by white people to make billions out it because we Africans don't know the value of it.

even if akon brag about it, he earned that, he is him and not even wizkid himself got nothing on him.

All Africans are talented... I love this.

Akon didn't say anything bad...

He’s right and it’s because only wiz worth it then and till now no artist is worthy of such promotion. Thanks to you Akon what else?

Well he’s right about the business awareness, but everything revolves around ‘’opportunity’’ and background.
