With the release of Wizkid’s album, ‘Morayo’ in November 2024, the question of the project’s relevance has continued to dominate social media.

Three months after its release, Wizkid’s Morayo is still answering the questions of doubt. Despite the rollout of highly anticipated projects from other artists, Morayo continues to find its way into conversations. The album arrived with high expectations, as many believed it would redefine the trajectory of Afrobeats.

While some argue that Morayo has not had the explosive cultural impact they expected, its presence remains undeniable. Whether through steady streaming numbers or ongoing debates about its place in Wizkid’s discography, the album’s relevance is still a conversation, one that, despite the doubts, refuses to fade.

Released on the 22nd of November 2024, the Grammy award-winning singer revealed that his late mother was the inspiration behind the record-breaking album. Titled after his late mom, Juliana Morayo Balogun, whom he lost in 2023, Morayo album, which is a heartfelt tribute to Wizkid’s late mother, Mrs Balogun, broke several records in the music industry since its release, cementing Wizkid’s status as one of the leading figures in the Afrobeats genre.

Upon release, Wizkid achieved a career milestone on the UK Official Albums Chart by debuting at number 14 on the chart.

Wizkid who has now debuted a total of 4 projects on the Chart in the UK received his highest debut spot with ‘Morayo’ at number 14 in the first week of tracking surpassing his initial spot of 15 with the highly acclaimed ‘Made In Lagos’ album.

Despite the growing scepticism, Morayo continues to rack up impressive streaming numbers. While it may not dominate social media discussions like it did upon release, recent stats suggest that the album is far from forgotten. On platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, key tracks are still maintaining millions of streams, proving that the project still holds weight among listeners.
