Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, aka Wizkid, a Grammy award-winning Nigerian Afrobeats artist, plans to become the first African musician to own a Jewellery line.
Wizkid revealed that he recently purchased a multimillion-naira diamond neckpiece, the first of six pieces his Jewellery brand would produce this year.
On the most recent episode of the Shopsydoo Adesope-hosted audiovisual podcast for Afrobeats, the “Essence” singer made this revelation.
According to Wizkid, the piece was his original creation, and it served as the launch of his collection.
He said,
“This [the neckpiece] is actually the first piece that I designed myself. This is the first of six pieces that I’m making this year. And yeah, the start of my jewelry line. So, it’s about to be some exciting stuff going on.”
The Starboy now joins the likes of American superstars Rihanna and Pharell Williams in the exclusive list of celebrities who owned Jewellery lines.
