Happy birthday! Wizkid turns 35 today

Wizkid is celebrating his 35th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Wizkid (Essence, One Dance, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 35th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Wizkid, a cultural icon

Born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun in Lagos on July 16, 1990, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Nigerian history. Wizkid's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Wizkid hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Wizkid as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 35.

Happy Birthday, Wizkid, you're the best!
