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”).

Kneecap Blasts Norwegian Government at Oslo Festival, Accusing It of Funding ‘Genocide’ Against Palestinians

The Irish rap trio went after the Norwegian government over its investments, which are currently under scrutiny, at Øyafestivalen.

Irish rap group Kneecap – which has drawn a storm of criticism, support, attention and legal action over the past half-year – continued to speak out about the war in Gaza during an afternoon set at the Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, on Friday (Aug. 8).

Right before the trio of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí took the stage, an English-language white-text-on-black-background message played on a video screen, accusing the Norwegian government of “enabling” the “genocide” against the Palestinian people via investments held in the county’s sovereign wealth fund (referenced as “oil pension fund” in the message). “Over 80,000 people have been murdered by Israel in 21 months,” the band’s message continued. “Free Palestine.” The message was greeted readily by a cheering audience. Most estimates (including those from health officials in the area) place the Palestinian death toll at more than 60,000. That number does not distinguish between civilians and Hamas militants. An estimated 18,500 of those killed were children.
