Wizkid announced on Wednesday (March 12) that he’ll be touring North America again with his latest studio album, Morayo.

He posted a Morayo Tour Hotline promotional video on his Instagram, with various operators informing Wiz’s customers that his European dates (Berlin, Rotterdam and Paris) in May are selling out fast and one operator claiming, “People are grabbing seats like it’s the last plate of jollof.”


“MORAYO LIVE! Coming to North America. Pre-Sale tickets today at 12pm local time! Use code MORAYO,” he captioned the clip.

The six-date jaunt will kick off on June 5 at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, and includes stops in New York City, Toronto, Baltimore and Houston before wrapping on June 22 at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl, where Wiz will deliver a special performance alongside the Color of Noize Orchestra.

The Nigerian starboy released his sixth studio album, Morayo, on Nov. 22 via Starboy Entertainment and RCA Records. Morayo, which translates to “I see joy” in Yoruba, is dedicated to his later mother, Juliana Morayo Balogun, who passed away in August 2023.

“Best album I ever made!! Now listen! It’s only up from here!” Wiz tweeted last July.

The 16-track LP includes previously released singles “Piece of My Heart” featuring Brent Faiyaz, “Kese (Dance)” and other collaborations with Asake (“Bad Girl”), Tiakola (“Apres Minuit”), Jazmine Sullivan (“Bad for You”) and Anaïs Cardot (“Slow”).

Drake Reacts to Breaking This Michael Jackson Chart Record: ‘Carry On Carry On’

Drizzy occupies the top three slots on the Billboard 200 and nine of the top 10 on this week's Billboard Hot 100.

Drake knows a thing or two about trophies and breaking records. The 6 God celebrated surpassing Michael Jackson for the most No. 1s among male solo acts on Tuesday (May 26) after “Janice STFU” debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100.

“Neck broke from carrying the chain Back broke from carrying the game Records broken carry on my name Carry on carry on,” Drizzy captioned the IG post — which could double as lyrics — featuring an illustrated photo of Michael Jackson with Iceman blue braids in front of a snowy landscape.
