Former presidential aide and social media commentator Reno Omokri" has urged Africans to stream and purchase Wizkid's (Ibrahim Balogun) album, "Morayo".
"Morayo," Wizkid's sixth studio album, broke the record for Africa’s most streamed album in its first week, immediately drawing the interest of many in the entertainment industry, including Reno Omokri.
Reno took to his X page (formerly Twitter) to shower praises on Wizkid for the success of his electrifying album, calling him a symbol of patriotism and humility in the Nigerian and African music industry.
His comments on the album gained widespread reactions from fans and music enthusiasts alike.
Continuing in his tradition of promoting the singer and the country, Reno once again took to his X page, rallying fellow Africans to support Wizkid by streaming and purchasing his latest album on various music platforms.
"We have an opportunity to set a world record with one of Africa's best artists, Wizkid, whose album, Morayo, has set an African streaming record in its first week.
Let's bring more glory to Africa by helping our 001 set a world streaming record. Please go on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, iTunes, YouTube, and Pandora, stream the album Morayo, and purchase the singles from that body of music," he wrote.
He emphasized that supporting Wizkid would not only benefit him but also pave the way for other African artists, such as Tyla, Diamond Platnumz, Black Sherif, DJ Maphorisa, and Sarkodie.
"In 2021, Africa voted for me as the most influential businessperson on the Internet from Africa. There is no African nation from which I did not get votes in the Business Insider poll.
And today, from a business standpoint, I assure you that if you help Wizkid break world records, it will not only help him, but it will open the door for other African artistes, such as Tyla, Diamond Platnumz, Black Sherif, DJ Maphorisa, and Sarkodie," Reno recounted.
He believes this will have a positive impact on African economies and help promote African artists worldwide.
"Money will flow into your national economies by this action. It is in our continental corporate interest for Morayo to break records. If a European, American, or Asiatic person streams Morayo and likes it, the chance they will stream another artiste of African origin is high.
In essence, you are not doing this for just Wizkid. You are doing it for Africa and your favorite singers, rappers, and entertainers. Remember, where there are streaming records, there will also be Grammy Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and MTV Video Music Awards.
Thriller made Michael Jackson the biggest artiste on the planet. Morayo can make Wizkid, the king of Afrobeats, his successor!"
