Wizkid is the Nigerian superstar whose collaboration with Drake on 'One Dance' in 2016 - alongside Kyla - became Drake's first number-one Billboard Hot 100 single and one of the biggest songs in streaming history. The track helped accelerate the global mainstream embrace of Afrobeats and made Wizkid one of the genre's most internationally visible artists. Drake also features on Wizkid's 'Come Closer' from Sounds from the Other Side in 2017, which extended their collaboration into a second major release. Wizkid has been publicly credited by Drake as one of the artists who introduced him to the Lagos sound, and Drake's continuing engagement with Afrobeats through features and tour bookings reflects the influence of that early partnership. 'One Dance' remains one of the most consequential Drake collaborations of the streaming era and a foundational moment in the global rise of Afrobeats into US and UK pop rotation.
