Wizkid teases Lagos concert with new social media post | fab.ng

Grammy-nominated artist Wizkid has sparked widespread excitement among Nigerian fans by hinting at a potential December concert in Lagos.

On November 26, 2024, the superstar posted an Instagram image captioned “Lagos December.” This immediately generated speculation about a live performance.

The concert anticipation follows the release of Wizkid’s sixth studio album and eighth project, “Morayo.“ This has already achieved significant commercial success.

The album remarkably set a new record on Spotify. It secured the largest opening day streams for a Nigerian artist. Also, it demonstrates the musician’s continued global appeal.

“Morayo” features a diverse collaborative lineup, including 16 tracks with guest appearances from prominent artists.

The album showcases Wizkid’s international reach by featuring Afrobeats hitmaker Asake, French artists Tiakola and Anais Cardot, and American musicians Jasmine Sullivan and Brent Faiyaz.

Should the concert materialise, it would mark the first performance Wizkid holds in Lagos since his 2022 Flytime Fest headline appearance.

Fans are particularly intrigued by the potential concert, given Wizkid’s previous statement suggesting his 2022 performance might be the last ticketed show for his Lagos audience.

Industry observers and music enthusiasts are closely monitoring the potential tour plans. The “Morayo” album’s release suggests Wizkid is preparing for a comprehensive tour.

Furthermore, Lagos potentially serves as the inaugural destination for the live concert Wizkid holds for his latest musical work.

The strategic timing of the album release and the cryptic social media post has effectively generated significant anticipation among fans and media outlets.

Wizkid continues to demonstrate his ability to create musical and promotional momentum. He maintains his status as a leading figure in the global music landscape.

Meanwhile, official confirmation remains pending; the “Lagos December” post has successfully generated substantial speculation and excitement.

This could be about a potential homecoming concert that could be a landmark event for Nigerian music fans.

Politics Don Expose Them: Femi Kuti Drops New Song | fab.ng

Femi Kuti, the renowned Afrobeat maestro, has returned with a powerful new track, Politics Don Expose Them, paired with an energetic, visually striking music video.

This release continues his tradition of combining compelling rhythms with sharp social commentary.

In Politics Don Expose Them, Femi Kuti delivers a bold critique of systemic corruption, ineffective leadership, and the betrayal of democratic values.

He uses his signature Afrobeat sound to amplify the message, urging listeners to remain vigilant and hold their leaders accountable.

With its infectious beats and thought-provoking lyrics, the song underscores Femi Kuti’s commitment to advocating for justice through music.

Director Pink helmed the music video, translating the song’s themes into powerful visuals. Scenes depict politicians delivering empty promises from podiums, a stark reminder of the political disillusionment many face.

These sequences sharply contrast with images of citizens protesting in the streets, holding placards and demanding change. The video captures the essence of resistance, showing the people’s struggle against corrupt systems.

True to Femi Kuti’s Afrobeat legacy, the video bursts with vibrant energy. Dancers clad in stunning African costumes perform electrifying routines, embodying the spirit and resilience of Afrobeat culture.

Their dynamic movements mirror the urgency and intensity of the song’s message, creating a visual feast that reinforces the call for accountability and social awareness.

Femi Kuti masterfully merges music and activism, continuing to challenge societal norms through his art. Politics Don Expose Them isn’t just a song; it’s a rallying cry.

It calls on listeners to recognise political deception, demand integrity, and fight for a better future. This latest release reaffirms Femi Kuti’s role as a global voice for justice, blending rhythm with revolution in a way only Afrobeat can.
