In an astonishing display of dedication, a fan of Nigerian music superstar Wizkid has taken fandom to new heights—literally. Boarding a private jet from Nigeria to China, this die-hard member of Wizkid FC climbed the 54-meter-high Statue of Unity, the tallest statue in the world, with a single mission: to hold a flag of Wizkid’s forthcoming album MARAYO and remain atop the statue until the album drops on October 1st.
The fan, whose bold stunt has grabbed global attention, declared that if Wizkid fails to release the album on the scheduled date, he will jump off the statue, stating that his fate would be in the hands of Wizkid himself. This daring commitment is both a testament to the deep love and passion that fans have for the Afrobeats icon and a powerful statement on how music can inspire such powerful devotion.
Wizkid, also known as Big Wiz, has long been regarded as one of Africa’s most influential artists, and the anticipation for MARAYO has been at an all-time high. Fans around the world have been eagerly waiting for new music, but this particular fan has turned that anticipation into a literal life-and-death situation, igniting conversations across social media and news platforms.
As we approach the album’s release date, the world watches with bated breath—hoping that the fan’s loyalty and passion are rewarded with the much-awaited drop of MARAYO. The love people have for Wizkid has proven to be more than just about music; it’s a movement, an energy that connects people from all walks of life, inspiring feats that go beyond the ordinary.
For Wizkid, it’s not just about the music—it’s about what that music means to millions across the globe. As Big Wiz prepares for what might be one of the most anticipated releases of his career, the stakes have never been higher. One fan’s life could literally depend on it.
Big Wiz for a reason.
