Wizkid’s latest album Morayo continues to generate major conversation, especially after it was evaluated by Grok, the AI platform developed by Elon Musk’s xAI.
The album, released in late 2024 after months of teasers and hype, marked a return to the singer’s deeper Afro-fusion roots. Fans were already impressed by the lyrical depth and sonic experimentation on the project—but it was a curious question from a user named Jun Mill that brought Grok into the mix.
In a viral moment, Jun Mill asked the AI if Morayo was a “successful” album, prompting Grok to analyze the project’s impact, sound direction, audience reception, and commercial performance. The review by Grok didn’t just spark conversation—it ignited a debate across social media platforms, with fans, critics, and casual listeners weighing in.
While the exact content of Grok’s evaluation wasn’t made fully public, snippets circulating online suggest the AI described Morayo as:
“An emotionally resonant and sonically daring project that, while different from his earlier chart-toppers, signals creative evolution and personal storytelling.”
This AI review added another layer to the album’s reception, as some fans appreciated the nuanced take, while others felt the AI lacked “street cred” to understand the cultural weight of Wizkid’s music.
