Wizkid’s Son Enters the Spotlight with Debut EP ‘Champion’s Arrival’
LAGOS, NIGERIA , November 12, 2025 The Nigerian music scene is abuzz with excitement as the son of global Afrobeats superstar Wizkid steps into the spotlight with the release of his debut EP, “Champion’s Arrival.” The project, released under Starboy Entertainment, marks the official entry of a new generation into the family’s musical legacy.
The young artist ,whose stage name is being kept under wraps pending his first major performance ,has already garnered industry attention for his confident delivery, lyrical maturity, and genre-fluid sound that blends Afrobeats, R&B, and contemporary pop influences.
“Music runs in my veins. I’ve watched greatness up close my whole life, but this is my story, my sound,” the rising star said during a private listening session in Lagos on Tuesday evening.
A Fresh Voice, Rooted in Legacy
The five-track EP, “Champion’s Arrival,” showcases a mix of youthful energy and seasoned production. With standout tracks like “Legacy Lane,” “One Day,” and the title track “Champion’s Arrival,” the project reflects themes of ambition, self-belief, and the pressures of living up to a famous name.
Each song features a carefully curated soundscape, with contributions from some of Nigeria’s most promising producers, including Pheelz, LeriQ, and London — a frequent Wizkid collaborator.
Music critics have described the EP as “a confident first step and a sign that the Starboy dynasty is here to stay.”
Industry and Fan Reactions
Since its release on major streaming platforms, “Champion’s Arrival” has been trending across Nigerian social media, with fans praising the young artist’s sound and charisma.
Entertainment journalist Tola Adebayo commented, “It’s refreshing to see him come out with a solid project that stands on its own merit. He’s not riding on his father’s fame — he’s building something authentic.”
Meanwhile, Wizkid himself shared a brief but heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“Proud of you, champ. The world is yours.”
Launch Event and What’s Next
A global launch event is reportedly being planned in London later this month, featuring guest performances from Afrobeats heavyweights and an exclusive preview of the official music video for “Champion’s Arrival.”
Industry insiders hint that the young artist has already been approached for several international collaborations, underscoring his growing potential beyond the Nigerian music scene.
With a debut that’s both bold and deeply personal, “Champion’s Arrival” signals not just the birth of a new artist, but the continuation of a powerful musical legacy.
