Wizkid’s Humble Offer

Wizkid, who has become one of the most successful and respected African artists in the world, is no stranger to success. From his groundbreaking single Fever to his international collaborations with artists like Drake and Beyoncé, his journey has been nothing short of phenomenal. However, his contribution to Brown Skin Girl was born out of something much deeper than just another collaboration.

When Beyoncé reached out to Wizkid to feature on Brown Skin Girl, he saw it as an opportunity to work with an artist he admired deeply. For Wizkid, Beyoncé was not just another pop star – she was a mentor. He viewed her as a guiding force in his career, someone who had inspired him throughout his own journey in music. As a result, Wizkid’s first instinct was to offer his contribution without expecting any payment.

“I wanted to do it for free because I consider her a mentor,” Wizkid revealed during the interview. “But she insisted that I get paid for my verse.”

It’s a rare and remarkable display of humility for someone of Wizkid’s caliber to offer their talent without expecting compensation, especially when working with an artist of Beyoncé’s stature. This speaks volumes about his respect for Beyoncé and the sense of honor he felt being part of such an impactful project. But this story is far from ordinary.
