Nigerian music maker, has moved one step ahead of his Nigerian colleagues as he makes history as first Nigerian act to make Billboard charts highlight.

 

Drake and Wizkid

 

Wizkid has become the first Nigerian artist to emerge on Billboard’s Twitter Last 24 hours chart courtesy of his feature in Drake's 'One Dance' song.

 

Two days ago, Drake dropped two singles, ‘Pop style’ featuring Kanye West and Jay Z, and ‘One dance’ featuring Wizkid and Kyla.

 

On 'One Dance,' the 6 God gets assists from Wizkid, who he worked with last year, and Kyla, sampling the Crazy Cousinz remix of her song, 'Do You Mind'.

 

This raises the bar a lot higher for the star pop singer helping to improve his brand visibility.

 

 

The tune  'One dance' features production by Ninteen85 with co-production credits by 40.

 

Wizkid already featured Drake in a remix to his 'Ojuelegba' fan favourite and award-winning song.

 

The single 'One dance'  is off Drake's forthcoming album, following his successful "What a time to be alive" released in 2015. 

 

The collaboration was said to have come about thanks to Skepta, a friend of Wizkid, who introduced the song to Drake during a Wireless Music Festival held in London.
