Newsonline On Monday, August 29th, 2022, the Recording Industry Association of America announced the Gold Certification of Wizkid’s ‘Made In Lagos’ album after it sold over 500,000 copies in the United States.

This giant stride earns Wizkid the singular honor of being the only Nigerian and African artist to have his album sell above 500,000 copies in the United States. As expected both fans, admirers, colleagues, and media personalities have showered Mr. Ayo “Wizkid” Balogun with praises for once again putting Nigeria and Africa on the map while also setting the pace for other artists.

Mr “First to do” has done it again ohhhh, “Made in Lagos” is now RIAA certified gold. It’s the first African album in history to reach this milestone. 🖤🦅

The role of ‘Essence’: It’s easily deductible that the American popularity of ‘Made In Lagos’ is driven by the hugely successful ‘Essence’ which enjoyed US success. ‘Essence’ remix featuring American Pop star Justin Bieber peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is two-time platinum.
