British comedy star, James Corden will be hosting the 59th annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

Wizkid arrived Nigeria in the last days of December 2016 after spending many months outside the country, which saw him go on a tour with Chris Brown, got signed to SONY Music and collaborated with some of the biggest musicians in US and UK.

He’s since received many accolades including ‘Artiste of the Year’ at The Headies and Soundcity MVP awards respectively.

Nigerians, Africans and Wizkid’s fans across world pray that the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker wins his first ever Grammy award tonight.

Shine on Starboy!
