Irene Agbontaen, the founder of TTYA London and a fashion designer based in the UK, has compared Nigerian music icon Wizkid to Michael Jackson.
She made this claim while describing her first encounter with Wizkid during an appearance on the I Said What I Said podcast.
The stylist revealed that he had just finished performing with British rapper Skepta at a party thrown by a friend in Lagos.
They were about to leave when Wizkid reportedly told them that he has a suite at the Eko hotel and that they should remain with him, according to Irene TTYA.
She stated that they decided to celebrate the New Year together at his house, and that when he brought them out, she got to experience the Wiz effect firsthand.
Irene added that as a result of what she saw, she always explains to people in meetings and at business gatherings why Wizkid is the Michael Jackson of Africa until they witness him in the metropolitan area, Lagos.
