Davido announces new surprise EP from Wizkid set to drop on Friday
After a quiet 2023, multi-award-winning megastar Wizkid is gearing up for his first release of the year with fans set to receive the second volume of his ‘Soundman EP’.
In a shocking announcement on social media by multiple music news outlets on December 19, 2023, Wizkid is set to release the second installment of his ‘Soundman EP’ which was first released in 2019.
If the announcements on multiple platforms might be considered an end-of-the-year prank by cynical fans who have waited for their favourite artist to drop a song, the tweet by fellow megastar Davido corroborating the news serves as a reliable confirmation.
In the tweet, Davido announced that new Wizkid material is set for release on Friday 22 December 2023.
