“Wizkid Was More Than a Studio Rat” – Sound Sultan’s Brother Exposes Industry Secrets
The Nigerian music industry is once again buzzing with revelations as Dare Fasasi, aka Baba Dee, brother to the late legend Sound Sultan, dropped some shocking insights about Wizkid’s early career.
Speaking on Teju Babyface’s show, Baba Dee exposed how Wizkid was more than just a ‘studio rat’—a phrase often used for struggling artists constantly hanging around recording studios. According to him, Wizkid was getting free studio time and was well-positioned for success long before the world knew his name.
Sound Sultan Almost Signed Wizkid – But Banky W Took Over
In a surprising revelation, Baba Dee claimed that Sound Sultan had his eyes on signing Wizkid, recognizing his talent early on. However, Banky W swooped in and signed him under EME, ultimately changing the course of Wizkid’s career.
This raises serious questions:
- Was Wizkid’s success purely talent, or was it about being in the right place at the right time?
- Did Banky W ‘steal’ Wizkid from Sound Sultan?
“Wizkid Was Always Favored” – Baba Dee Drops More Bombshells
Baba Dee made it clear that Wizkid wasn’t just another struggling artist, as many fans believe. He revealed that Wizkid had access to free studio sessions and was widely respected even in his early days.
For years, many fans have praised Wizkid’s journey as a classic ‘rags to riches’ story, but Baba Dee’s comments suggest that the industry had already set the stage for him to succeed.
Baba Dee Warns: “The Next Will Always Come”
The Shorty crooner also sent a strong message to the industry, stating that no artist, no matter how big, can reign forever. He warned that instead of fighting the new wave of stars, the industry should prepare for the next transition.
This statement could be a subtle dig at Wizkid, who many believe has struggled to maintain his dominance in the face of rising artists like Rema and Asake. Is Baba Dee suggesting that Wizkid’s time at the top is running out?
