October 6 Is Officially Wizkid Day in Minnesota, USA 🇺🇸 — Honoring Nigeria’s Afrobeats Icon 🇳🇬

On October 6, 2018, the State of Minnesota, USA, made history by officially declaring the day as “Wizkid Day.” 🎉

This special honor was given to Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, in recognition of his incredible contributions to music, culture, and global entertainment. The proclamation celebrated his success in putting Afrobeats and Nigeria on the world stage — from sold-out concerts to international collaborations with stars like Drake, Beyoncé, and Justin Bieber.

Since then, fans around the world celebrate October 6 every year as Wizkid Day, a moment to reflect on how far African music has come and how it continues to inspire millions globally.

Wizkid’s journey — from Surulere, Lagos 🇳🇬 to world stages like the O2 Arena and Madison Square Garden — remains a shining example of African excellence and creativity. 🌍✨
