Wizkid himself who immediately dropped a new single + video “Sweet Love“, visibly excited at this milestone told Billboard in a statement:
“It’s hard for me to describe what I do, since I work with rhythms from Afro-Beat, reggae, hip-hop, dance hall and others. What’s important to me is for music to be real, authentic, raw and timeless. I don’t wanna be boxed in to any one genre.”
