International celebs vibe to Wizkid as Kendall Jenner listens to song from 'Made in Lagos'
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that Wizkid doesn't call himself Big Wiz for the sake of it as he is currently the Nigerian singer making waves in the international community.
Ever since his Made in Lagos album dropped, he has been taking over charts, breaking records and taking over playlists around the world.
International celebrities such as Kevin Hart and one of the Kardashian sisters, Kylie Jenner have been spotted listening to Essence off the MIL album. Another Kardashian sister, Kendall Jenner, has also jumped on the Wizkid vibe and this might be due to his recent collaboration with Justin Bieber.
