Multiple award-winning singer, Wizkid, is currently trending on the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, courtesy of his fans who chose to celebrate him through a ‘World Wizkid Day’.
Although the Starboy was born on July 16, 1990, he is celebrated every October 6, courtesy of a former governor of Minnesota, Mark Dayton, who proclaimed the date ‘Wizkid Day’ in 2018.
According to a document, which was officially signed, stamped and sealed by the former governor during his tenure, the reason behind the declaration was to honour Wizkid for his laudable achievements in music and for his role as a culture influencer.
Some of the singer’s achievements as mentioned in the document include being the first African artiste to sell out the Skyway Theatre Minneapolis, making a Billboard number one hit ‘One Dance’ with Drake, selling out the O2 Arena London, walking the runway as a model for Dolce and Gabbana, winning countless international awards, among other notable milestone achievements.
