The late Michael Jackson is rated among the greatest musicians who ever lived, so when a comparison is made between him and a much younger singer of Nigerian provenance, the gesture is bound to be appreciated by the younger singer’s fans. That’s what just happened.
South African singer Tyla is one lady who rates Nigerian singer Wizkid highly. In fact, as far as the “Water” hitmaker is concerned, Wizkid is so great that he is on the same pedestal as the late Michael Jackson in terms of impact.
She didn’t stop at Michael Jashon, however, but also mentioned other key names in global pop as being on the same pedestal as well. The other musicians she mentioned include Britney Spears, Drake, and Rihanna. Specifically, about Wizkid, she pointed out that he has been around so long and has done so much for the culture.

Wizkid fans of Nigerian provenance appreciated her putting their idol on the same pedestal as Drake and Michael Jackson. But it wasn’t everyone who was pleased with that. Some netizens criticised her list, pointing out that Wizkid is in no way close to being on the same pedestal as Michael Jackson.
