Like Father, Like Son: Wizkid’s First-Born Steps Into The Studio Spotlight
The Nigerian music scene is buzzing with excitement as another Balogun prepares to make his mark on the industry. Boluwatife Balogun, the teenage son of Afrobeats superstar Wizkid, is giving us a tantalizing glimpse into his musical journey with some fresh studio footage that’s got social media talking.
In recently shared Instagram clips, young Bolu (as he’s affectionately known) is showing he’s inherited more than just his father’s name. The footage captures him in his element – decked out with studio headphones, phone in hand, laying down vocals with the kind of focus that suggests this isn’t just a casual hobby. The sound we’re hearing? It’s a solid blend of hip-hop and trap, with Bolu bringing his own flavor through rap verses that pack surprising punch for someone his age.
The video itself is a stylish affair, presenting Bolu’s studio session through an artistic lens with moody lighting and dynamic cuts. Between the intense recording moments, we catch a heartwarming scene at a grocery store where he’s already getting a taste of fan love – proving the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to star quality.
But perhaps the most endearing moment comes courtesy of his mother, Shola Ogudu, who couldn’t contain her maternal pride. Her enthusiastic reaction upon entering the studio – “I’m so impressed. My impress is impressed! Jesus!!!” – perfectly captures the excitement building around this emerging talent.
As the son of Wizkid – one of Africa’s most successful music exports – Boluwatife’s entry into music carries natural intrigue. But from what we’re seeing and hearing, he’s determined to carve his own path in the industry. While it’s still early days, this preview suggests we might need to make room for another Balogun in our playlists very soon.
