Afrobeat sensation, Ayo Balogun, best known as Wizkid, has recently arrived in Saudi Arabia in anticipation of his highly-anticipated performance at the upcoming SoundStorm Festival.
The news follows closely on the heels of Wizkid's announcement of plans to generously distribute N100 million naira for Christmas celebrations aimed at benefiting children.
After spending time in Nigeria following his mother’s burial, Wizkid finally departed the country on Wednesday, December 13, heading for Saudi Arabia, where he will play the main act at the “SoundStorm Festival,” the largest regional festival in the Middle East, in Riyadh.
The celebration is expected to get underway on Thursday, December 14.
A video of their arrival in Saudi Arabia was posted by DJ Tunez, Wizkid’s personal disc jockey, before the singer’s performance.
