Everything started in July 2015 when Skepta introduced Drake to Ojuelegba and the latter jumped on the track and recorded a remix to it. This introduced the world to a brighter side of Nigerian music and before long the remix led to the Drake Song ‘One Dance’ which dropped on April 5, 2016.
With this, Wizkid is sure gaining foothold in the global music scene and it presents many more opportunities for other pop artistes in Nigeria ‘One Dance’ is the 12th track on the new album views, the fourth.
