Wizkid Wins First iHeart Radio Award

Afrobeat star, Ayo Balogun popularly known as ‘WizKid’ has bagged an iHeart Radio Award for his collaboration on ‘One Dance’ with American rapper, Drake and singer, Kyla.

The international award which is his first for the year comes weeks after he failed to clinch a Grammy award for the same song.

The song lost in the Album of the Year category at the Grammys 2017 for the album “Views”.

According to billboard, ‘One Dance,’ won Hip-Hop Song of the Year beating another Drake song ‘Controlla’, Desiigner’s ‘Panda’, Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s ‘All the way up’, and DJ Khaled’s ‘For free’ featuring Drake.

WizKid who recently signed a deal with Sony RCA is bound to release his third studio album “Sounds from the Other Side” on June 9, 2017.

The singer had gained international relevance with the release of Ojuelegba in 2014 which led to a remake by Drake and fellow rapper Skepta.

WizKid recently released new music ‘Sweet Love’, a kind of docu-video of his tour moments over the past year.
