For years, fans have wondered whether Wizkid’s first son would eventually follow in his father’s musical footsteps. With Champion’s Arrival, Boluwatife answers that question loud and clear — and does so with style.
While it’s easy to draw comparisons between father and son, what’s refreshing about Champz’s approach is his quiet confidence.
