Nigeria’s finest hip hop sensation Wizkid has put Nigeria on the world map again this time making a whooping sum of 800,000 pounds.

On Saturday, May 26th, 2018, Wizkid brought the afrobeat sound to his Afro Republik fest at The O2 Arena in London, and according to sources he made lot of millions from the concert.

Wizkid who reportedly sold out the 20,000 seat capacity of O2 Arena in London before the event, made 385,100,071 Million Naira from the show. The event tickets was sold at £40 per ticket, that is 40×20,000 = 800,000 pounds.

Late last year, Wizkid sold out the Royal Albert Hall in London and at the end of the show, the singer had promised that his aim for the coming year was to sell out the iconic O2 Arena and true to his words, barely seven months after, Wizkid announced his concert and it was sold out days before the event. There were 20,000 people at the concert.

It was his first major international performance for the year and the concert was preceded by performances from the likes of Maleek Berry, Yxng Bane who brought Kojo Funds on stage, Mr Eazi who performed his latest single, London Town alongside UK rapper, Giggs, Tekno, Not3s, Tiwa Savage, but the night belonged to Wizkid, the Starboy of Nigerian music.
