Nigerian music star, Ayra Starr, has declared Afrobeats’ superstar Wizkid, the King of Sexy Afrobeats, in a recent interview.
The Wizkid Effect: Charm Meets Sound
From his breakout single Holla at Your Boy in 2010, Wizkid’s effortless charisma has been inseparable from his artistry. By the time his debut album Superstar landed—with sultry standouts like Tease Me—he had already mastered the balance of cool confidence and subtle allure that defines his brand.
As he evolved, Wizkid became the architect of Afrobeats’ sensual side. Tracks like Come Closer with Drake, Dirty Wine, and Naughty Ride brought bold textures to the genre. But it was Fever—with Tiwa Savage as his leading lady—that rewrote the rulebook on intimacy in African music visuals.
Made in Lagos: Afrobeats’ Seduction Blueprint
2020’s Made in Lagos didn’t just sell out stadiums—it set a new global standard for sexy Afrobeats. With tracks like Essence, True Love, and Piece of Me, the album pulsed with late-night vibes and became the soundtrack for romance worldwide. Critics called Essence a cultural reset, and Billboard hailed it as the “song of the summer” that carried Afrobeats into mainstream dominance.
More Love, Less Ego — Same Magnetic Energy
Wizkid doubled down with More Love, Less Ego (2022) and Morayo (2023), seamlessly layering sensual storytelling into hits like Flower Pads, Frames, and Slow. Each song felt like an invitation into his world—seductive, smooth, and impossible to resist.
Ayra Starr’s Seal of Approval
When Ayra Starr calls Wizkid the king, it’s more than fan-girl energy. Their collaboration Gimme Dat proved her point: their chemistry radiates, fusing sultry vocals with Wizkid’s signature vibe. For the new generation, Wizkid isn’t just a pioneer—he’s the standard.
The Verdict
From Lagos to London to Los Angeles, one truth remains unshakable: Wizkid doesn’t just make sexy Afrobeats—he is sexy Afrobeats. Ayra Starr said it out loud, and the world can only agree.
