Rave of the moment, Ayo Balogun popularly known as Wizkid has just splashed close to six million Naira on acquiring an automobile. The new machine is a blue-coloured 2010 Volkswagen convertible from the Eos 2.0 TSI Comfortline range.
The convertible replaces the Black Honda Accord i-VTEC, allegedly bought for him by actress Tonto Dikeh, but which he lost to robbers in a March car-jack incident in Lagos.
The excited singer tweeted a picture of his dad, Alhaji Balogun, testing the new ride on Sunday, September 11, 2011 . But a few days after, he deleted the tweet.
Wizkid has risen steadily since dropping his first single, ‘Holla at your boy’ in 2009. The debutante continued to receive wide acclaim with every single released and capped it with a 17-track hit album which was launched in grand style at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos in June 2011.
Currently, the Superstar grosses an average of One million Naira per show and is booked well in advance as he transverses the length and breath of Nigeria, Africa, the U.K and U.S to honour engagements.
He is nominated in the Best African Act category of the Music Of Black Origin (MOBO) 2011 alongside Pop singer D’banj and Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti among other top African contenders as well as the MTV Europe Music Awards in the ‘World Wide Act‘ category.
The 21 year old EME signee recently fathered a baby girl in Lagos, Nigeria.

Wizkid, money is nt bad but, as you are making it remember God, know that there’s another life after death, where will you spend your eternity? Heaven or hell, heaven is real and so is hell, think about it.
