NIGERIAN GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING SUPERSTAR WIZKID MAKES HIS DIRECTORIAL DEBUT WITH HIS NEW VIDEO FOR “KESE (DANCE)”

Grammy award winning and multi-Platinum selling Nigerian superstar Wizkid makes his directorial debut with his new music video, shot in Lagos, for the vibey track “Kese (Dance)”. The single is from his sixth studio album Morayo via Starboy/Sony Music International/RCA Records. This album is very personal to Wiz as it’s a tribute to his late mother; the meaning of the Yoruba word MORAYO is “I see joy.” 

Prior to album release, Wiz dropped his single and video for “Piece of My Heart” featuring Brent Faiyaz and this single “Kese (Dance).” Both singles broke records as the most streamed songs in Nigerian Spotify history in a single day. Wiz also performed at the BOF 500 Gala in addition to Wizkid and Brent stepping out at Paris Fashion Week this year to attend the iconic Chanel show. All of this was followed by an intimate Ladies First party in London to give select fans a first listen to “Piece of My Heart.” Most recently, Wiz earned a 2025 Grammy nomination for Best African Music Performance for “MMS” with Asake and won an award for Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration (Contemporary) with “Piece Of My Heart” feat. Brent Faiyaz at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.

This album comes after the release of Wizkid’s fifth studio album More Love, Less Ego in 2022. He had major milestones around this previous album including his incredible Apple Music Live performance with Apple Music and his first-ever Madison Square Garden show in New York.

Throughout the years, Wizkid’s reached momentous career markers that have made him into the global superstar he is today. In 2020, he garnered a Grammy nomination for his RIAA-certified Gold album Made in Lagos, which has amassed over a billion streams. The album’s 2021 deluxe version had the Justin Bieber remixed lead single “Essence” (featuring Tems) that peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, won a 2022 BET Award for “Best Collaboration” and a 2022 NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding International Song”. On top of all the accolades, he made history having the first Nigerian song to chart on both the Hot 100 and Global 200charts. The original Grammy nominated version of “Essence” featuring Tems is a 4x Platinum smash hit that reached #1 at Urban Radio and #1 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. Other collaborators Wizkid has worked with previously include Ayra Starr, Chris Brown, Don Toliver, Skepta and more.
