    “I told him, ‘Yo, I have an idea, let me try it‘and when he heard it, he said ‘I don’t think this is for me anymore‘. Two days later, the record drops and that was the point where I knew we were really up to something.”

    The singer who showed interest in music after recording a guest verse on “My Life”, a song that gained traction has said Wizkid is doing better music than his contemporaries.

    Eazi who is signed to Wizkid’s Star Boy Entertainment has been able to leverage from being an artiste under Wizkid‘s Starboy Worldwide. He stressed that there is no reason for him to get signed on another record label. Eazi noted that he has turned down numerous record deal offers going into millions of dollars.

    Hear him:”Between the first Ghana Music Awards where Wizkid announced me till now, I’ve gotten record deal offers going into millions of dollars, I’ve not signed because I see that there’s growth [with Starboy Worldwide], so the evidences are clear.

    “What Wizkid is doing right now, there’s nobody in the game doing what he’s doing.If you go to the UK and put on the radio, the only two artistes you’ll most likely hear on the radio are myself and Wizkid.

     

    “If you put on the TV, you would see myself and Wizkid on it. And the next R2Bees project, you will see it there.At the end of the day, it’s like, ‘I’ve done everything, I’ve given you guys hits on hits “Mr Eazi said.
