Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, known professionally as Wizkid is arguably a Afrobeats legend alive still making good music for his fans around the world.
Sometimes fans of artistes can go to the extra mile to give all sorts of appraisals and tags to in other to hail their chosen favourite artist in high esteem above his or her o ther colleague artistes especially in the same genre.

In an high competition industry like the Nigeria Music Industry dominated by the Afrobeats genre, there are three extraordinary singers that have emerged claiming to be the king of the genre in their current dispensation and with their huge individual followers, they keep pushing their self-acclaimed king of Afrobeats agenda.
One of Wizkid’s die-hard fan; perhaps, identified as Peng Man on the microblog platform twitter has made an explosive claim stating that Wizkid is Michael Jackson of Afrobeats.
Peng Man twitted “Wizkid is the Michael Jackson of Afrobeats.”
However, it seems this comparison of Wizkid is way heavier than Joro crooner and Wizkid himself will dare not compare himself to the King of Pop.
There is no doubt that it is a demeaning statement to ever try to put Wizkid on the same scale with Michael Jackson.

However the case, Wizkid is trying to make his name and brand something worth recognizing but, if he has not yet overcome the legendary status of Fella Kuti, how much more should anybody dare compare him to Michael Jackson?
