Veteran singer Eldee The Don has made a remarkable revelation about his influence on Grammy-winning singer Wizkid’s early career, disclosing that he was the one who convinced Wizkid to explore Afrobeats.
According to Eldee, when Wizkid was first signed to EME record label, he was initially inclined towards Reggae and Dancehall music, but Eldee advised him to incorporate Nigerian influences into his sound, finding a middle ground that would showcase the country’s rich musical flavors.
Eldee’s counsel had a profound impact on Wizkid’s career, as he went on to create Afropop hits like ‘Don’t Dull,’ which catapulted him to stardom and paved the way for his subsequent success in the music industry.
