Wizkid

Ibrahim Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid has revealed what the name of his forthcoming album is.

The superstar, in an interview with Esquire said he named the album after his Mother.

“I’ve named it my mum’s name,” he says – his mother’s name being ‘Morayo’, a Yoruba word that means ‘I see joy’, he said.

“It’s very important for people to know where the source of my magic comes from. I’m African, I’m Nigerian; that’s my blood, that’s my DNA. So, it’s important for me to push [Yoruba] out there – let people know about my culture. I like to know about everyone else’s culture, their way of life, and this is mine.”
