Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has set the internet ablaze with the release of his sixth studio album, Morayo, and fans are calling it a masterpiece. The album, which dropped in November 2024, is trending again thanks to a viral X post by user @realestos, showcasing the album’s striking cover art and a tracklist packed with bangers like “Troubled Mind” and “Kese (Dance).” The post, timestamped at 00:27 UTC, has sparked a frenzy of reactions, memes, and Yoruba-infused hype from fans across Nigeria and beyond.
The X post didn’t just stop at music. It featured a dazzling image of an intricate, diamond-encrusted necklace, hinting at the lavish lifestyle tied to Wizkid’s global brand. Fans speculate the jewelry could be a nod to the wealth and prestige Morayo represents, with one user, @Remzee15, joking, “My head wan burst ,” alongside a meme of pure excitement.
Another reply from @IdrisO84564 taunted rivals with, “The competition omo, where you dey?”—a playful jab at other artists overshadowed by Wizkid’s dominance.

Morayo, meaning “I see joy” in Yoruba, is deeply personal for Wizkid, dedicated to his late mother, Juliana Morayo Balogun, who passed in 2023.
The 16-track album blends Afrobeats with global influences, featuring collabs with artists like Brent Faiyaz and Jazmine Sullivan. According to a Billboard report from March 2025, Wizkid is gearing up for a North American Morayo tour starting June 5 in Atlanta, proving the album’s staying power.

Social media reactions highlight Nigeria’s vibrant fan culture, with Yoruba phrases like “Omo see gbedu!!!” (meaning “What a hit!”) and “Iya nje e” peppering the thread. The energy is infectious, with users like @SantaExqCobarr declaring, “Real love yeah thats what we used to,” referencing Wizkid’s loyal fanbase, known as Wizkid FC.
However, not everyone’s on board. A cheeky reply from @Obaji_esq plugged rival Davido’s album #5IVE, suggesting a rekindled rivalry. “2024 album PR in 2025, Davido don press him neck,” they wrote, stirring the pot in true Naija fashion. Despite the shade, Morayo’s momentum seems unstoppable, with fans streaming tracks like “Piece of My Heart” and “Bad Girl” nonstop.
As Wizkid continues to take Afrobeats to the world, Morayo is more than an album—it’s a cultural moment. Will it cement his legacy as Nigeria’s greatest export?
