| Wizkid |
This is WizKid & Skales first time to
Canada. The press conference though slated for 7.00 p.m. did not start until
9:15 p.m. but it was well worth the wait!
Clad in a red T-shirt [with a small animal
print patch pocket] and a pair of blue jeans; Wizkid looked both casual and CHIC. His signature shades, no surprise, stayed on all night.
He confessed that he'd been looking
forward to touring Toronto and made sure to thank his fans for his continued
success.

Ibrahim Balogun a.k.a Wizkid, is an incredibly talented artist from
Nigeria. Since the release of his debut album Superstar last year, the 23 year
old has won a MOBO award, BET award [Best International Act, 2012] and signed
with AKON’s Konvict Music!

is also the official brand ambassador to Pepsi in Africa, as well as Nigerian
Breweries along side Tuface and D’Banj.
Shakara Natural Tips: What was the first album you ever bought?
"Superstar.” W
Being a hair & style blog, I also had to
ask if his music inspires his haircut and fashion style. The young star politely
replied, “Not really, I like to be
comfortable so I wear mostly hoodies.”
In any case, we think he has the complete
package...youth, voice, looks, and HAIR! and depicts these effortlessly.
