Nigerian Singer Wizkid Changes Signature Name On Social Media To Big Wiz

Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, Ayo Balogun, also known as Wizkid, shocked his fans on Monday as he changed his Instagram name from Wizkid to Big Wiz.

Without a formal announcement, the artiste has hinted on how he would rather be addressed by fans.

Fans of the 30-year-old singer had in the past suggested that the singer remove the suffix ‘-kid’ from his name, based on his age and achievements in the Nigerian music industry over the past decade.

Meanwhile, the singer is not the first Nigerian musician to change names, either formally or informally.

For instance, Legendary singer, Tuface, changed his name to 2baba; iconic rap artiste, Sauce Kid, changed his name to Sinzu; and Kiss Daniel changed to Kizz Daniel.
