Nigerian singer Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has made history by becoming the first African artiste to perform at the prestigious British Fashion Awards.
The event took place at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall, a venue renowned for hosting significant cultural and artistic events. Wizkid delivered a captivating performance of his new song "Troubled Mind," which is the opening track from his recently released sixth studio album, "Morayo."
The 2024 British Fashion Awards was a star-studded affair, attended by notable figures such as Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Dave Chappelle, and Tems. The ceremony was hosted by television and radio presenter Maya Jama alongside musician Kojey Radical, both of whom returned after hosting the previous year's event.
The awards celebrated international talent, with Jonathan Anderson winning the Designer of the Year award for the second consecutive year, and A$AP Rocky receiving the Cultural Innovator award.
Wizkid's performance was met with widespread acclaim, further solidifying his status as a global music icon. His presence at the event not only highlighted his musical prowess but also underlined the growing influence of African artists on the global stage. The British Fashion Awards, organized by the British Fashion Council, serves as a primary fundraiser for the BFC's Education Foundation, supporting students with exceptional potential in the fashion industry.
