What the Documentary Covers — Wizkid’s Journey & Impact
It traces Wizkid’s roots — from growing up in Lagos/Surulere to becoming a global music star.
It highlights major milestones, including his historic headline performance at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — making him one of the first African artists to headline a 60,000-capacity stadium in that context.
The film also reflects on how Wizkid’s success and Afrobeats more broadly helped shift global perceptions of African music and culture, connecting his personal story to larger conversations about identity, representation, and diaspora.
