Afrobeats megastar Wizkid has once again made history — this time not just with his music, but with his bank account.
According to reports, Wizkid was paid a jaw-dropping $3 million (over ₦4.5 billion) to headline the prestigious AIA Sound Festival in Copenhagen, Denmark 
, making it the highest fee ever paid to an African artist for a single performance.
The news has sent shockwaves across the entertainment world, solidifying Wizkid’s position as a global heavyweight in the music industry.
This groundbreaking deal places Wizkid in a league of his own, surpassing previous records held by fellow African stars and highlighting the massive global demand for Afrobeats.
Social media erupted with reactions:
“Big Wiz is no longer playing in the African league. He’s global property now,” one fan tweeted.
“$3 million for one show? Bro is officially the Beyoncé of Africa,” another joked.
His historic AIA Sound Festival performance is not only a personal milestone but a major moment for African music on the world stage — proof that the sound from Lagos is commanding top-dollar and top-billing worldwide.
