Wizkid, the Afrobeats star, delivered a spectacular, crowd-thrilling performance at the maiden Afroplus Festival held at the RFK Festival Grounds in Washington, DC.
The event, a celebration of global Black music and culture, featured a powerhouse lineup including Asake, Shatta Wale, Wande Coal, and rapper Gunna.
Wizkid’s set was a highlight of the night, featuring a dynamic run-through of hits from his seminal sophomore album, ‘Ayo (Joy)’.
The energy peaked during his performance of ‘In My Bed’, where he sprayed water on the ecstatic crowd while chanting the iconic Yoruba praise lyrics: “Balogun eleniyan/ Wizzy eleniyan/ Ogunmola eleniyan/ Agbaje eleniyan/ Fashola eleniyan/ Tinubu eleniyan/ Otedola eleniyan”.
He further captivated the audience with renditions of ‘Kese Kese’, ‘Caro’, and a performance of Gunna’s ‘Fukumean’.
