Veteran singer and actor Baba Dee, brother to the late Sound Sultan, has shared insights into Wizkid’s early struggles in the music industry.
Speaking as a guest on Teju Babyface’s podcast, Baba Dee revealed that Wizkid was more than just a “studio rat”—a term used for artists who spend countless hours perfecting their craft in the studio. According to him, Wizkid hustled his way up, relying on free studio sessions before becoming the global superstar he is today.
Baba Dee praised Wizkid’s remarkable journey, emphasizing that the “Morayo” crooner has achieved what many Nigerian artists have not. His story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of perseverance and dedication in the industry.
Wizkid’s rise from grinding in studios to international fame remains one of the most inspiring success stories in Afrobeats.
