Wizkid’s presence invited alot of cheers and excitment from fans allover the arena and such would bee spending quite a good time around his tour in various cities of America from Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Edmonton.

Come Closer is a 2017 hit song released by Wizkid where he featured Drake. Although the song featuring Drake, the American singer couldn’t make an appearance in the video and Wzkid’s fans and other Nigerians dragged Drake on the internet for featuring but not appearing. Rumours did circulate of an unknown issue between Wizkid and Drake, but that was never confirmed by both singers who maintained their friendly relationship both on and off social media.

Wizkid coming up on stage to perform Come Closer and also Soco is huge, not just for him as an artiste, but for African music as the show in O2 Arena will further expose Afrobeat to more international crowd.

Wizkid also made an announcement recently that he has a new collaboration in the works with the Canadian rapper, Drake.
