Grammy award-winning star, Wizkid, has been honoured by the British Phonographic Industry music award body for his latest achievement in the United Kingdom.
Wizkid has, therefore, set a historical record in the UK, becoming the first Afrobeats star to be honoured with the BRIT Awards.
On Saturday, Wiz headlined a concert at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, where he electrified the massive crowd with several of his hit songs.
With the success of his “More Love, Less Ego’ concert at the gigantic stadium, as the only African artiste to have pulled off such, he was recognised by the British music body.
On its official Twitter handle on Monday, it announced Wizkid has been awarded the prestigious Brit Billion Award for garnering a staggering one billion streams in the United Kingdom.
It tweeted: “It’s one billion UK streams for @wizkidayo, who was presented with his BRIT Billion Award while in London for his incredible show at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.”
