An upcoming musician has cashed out by copying the music of star musician, Wizkid.

An up and coming Nigerian musician has been exposed for making millions while copying musician, Wizkid.
The musician even made his name seem almost like that of Wizkid.
The artiste who goes by the name, Wisekid reportedly made N30 million monthly since October 2020 by copying Wizkid’s Made in Lagos album on Apple Music and Amazon.
The musician released an album and named it Lasgidi Made, but uploaded Wizkid’s Made In Lagos album with rearranged tracklist and another title to deceive streaming platforms’ algorithms.
He also cloned and uploaded Wizkid’s Made in Lagos album on shazam and tidal.
The album which has gone on to amass a total of 9.3 million streams translating to a profit of over 20 million naira was brought to the notice of the public when fans shared screenshots of their Apple Music replay.
