Wizkid, a well-known Nigerian singer better known by his stage name Ayodeji Balogun, made history on July 4 when he performed as the opening act of the biggest video game tournament in the world, Gamers 8 eSports, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

This has prompted a response from his supporters, who hail him as “the greatest African artiste,” sending social media into a frenzy.

Wizkid performed at the gaming convention a few weeks after it was announced that he would be the headliner of the forthcoming Rolling Loud Festival in Miami, New York.
