Wizkid believes it's disrespectful to confine his artistic identity solely within the boundaries of Afrobeat.

In a recent announcement via his Instagram story, Wizkid expressed his frustration with being pigeonholed into the "Afrobeat" category. As he revealed that his next album was ready for release, the acclaimed singer cautioned fans not to anticipate an Afrobeat rendition on the upcoming project.

He went on to discourage fans of the genre from downloading his new album, emphasizing his desire to break free from the confines of the Afrobeat label. Wizkid boldly stated,  "If you like Pakurumo Wizkid, don’t download this new album. In fact, delete me from your playlist and your life! If you like Afrobeats, don’t download my album.I’m not a f*cking Afrobeats artiste. I am not Afro anything."

This declaration highlights Wizkid's determination to assert his artistic identity beyond the boundaries of a single genre.
