Anticipation is building for Nigerian superstar Wizkid's upcoming album, with the Grammy-winning artist set to host an exclusive pre-release party in Paris on June 25. The event, held at Cova Club Paris and organized in partnership with Deeds Paris Fashion Week, promises an early taste of the highly anticipated project for fans and industry insiders.

The gathering comes shortly after Wizkid hinted at new music with a cryptic social media post. While the album's title, release date, and tracklist remain under wraps, the Paris event is poised to generate significant buzz.

This forthcoming work will be Wizkid's first major release since 'Morayo' in November 2024, an album dedicated to his late mother, Jane Dolapo Balogun, who passed away in August 2023. Since his 2011 debut 'Superstar,' Wizkid, born Ayodeji Balogun, has solidified his status as one of Africa's most successful music exports, with acclaimed projects like 'Made In Lagos' and numerous global collaborations.
