Wizkid may have silenced some critics after his hit song Ojuelegbawas ranked 12th best song in the world in the last calendar year, by New York based magazine, The Fader.

The fan favourite, Ojuelegba which got a remix from international rapper, Drake, was ranked above chart topping singles from American superstars such asFuture, Fetty Wap, Rich Homie Quan among others.

There is a correlation between the comparison of Messi Ronaldo and Wizkid Davido. One is naturally gifted the other is not naturally gifted but works hard to become gifted. Nice one Wizzy boy
