The State of Minnesota, USA is today celebrating its annual Wizkid day to honour Afrobeats superstar singer, “Wizkid.

The celebration started in 2019 when Governor Mark Dayton declared the 6th of October every year as the City’s Wizkid Day.

In the sealed and stamped document while declaring the day, the Governor noted that the recognition is in honor of Wizkid’s achievements in music and his role as a cultural influencer.

Wizkid was honoured after he became the first African artist to sell out the Skyway Theatre Minneapolis in 2019.
