Remi Aluko, a Fuji artist, claims that Wizkid transformed the Nigerian music industry by improving the music economy and increasing replay value.

He explained that before the Starboy boss entered the music industry, Nigerian songs were normally long, but he changed that by releasing shorter songs.

The Fuji star claimed that other artists followed suit after seeing how Wizkid’s recording approach increased song replay value.

In a podcast interview with Echo Room, Aluko said, “Wizkid did something in the Nigerian music industry. And I picked up from there. Back then, a song used to last for five or four minutes. But go and check now, Wizkid is the one that changed the method of music that you don’t need to waste music.

“He changed the method of recording in Nigeria. He will bring chorus and after that he will just give you like 16 bars and after that he will go back to the chorus. If you love the music, you play it again.”
