Grammy-winning Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has concluded plans to become the first African musician to have his own jewelry brand.
Wizkid revealed that his recently purchased multimillion naira diamond neckpiece is the first of six items that his jewelry brand would produce this year.
The ‘Essence’ singer disclosed this while appearing on the current episode of Shopsydoo Adesope’s Afrobeats audiovisual podcast.
Wizkid stated that he developed the piece himself and that it was the start of his jewelry collection.
He said, “This [the neckpiece] is actually the first piece that I designed myself. This is the first of six pieces that I’m making this year. And yeah, the start of my jewellery line. So, it’s about to be some exciting stuff going on.”
