Nigerian superstar Ayodeji \u201cWizkid\u201d Balogun is once again making global waves, this time as a featured artist on American rapper Gunna\u2019s freshly released 25-track album The Last Wun.\n<\/p>\n
Dropped on August 8, 2025, the project marks Gunna\u2019s sixth studio album and his final release under YSL Records and 300 Entertainment. Alongside Wizkid, the star-studded guest list includes Offset, Burna Boy, Asake, and Nechie, blending melodic trap with Afrobeats, rap, and R&B influences.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWizkid is no longer a normal human, he\u2019s now a god!!! Jesus, see music,\u201d gushed X user @GucciStarboi after hearing the collab.\n<\/p>\n
For others, it\u2019s yet another example of the singer\u2019s cross-genre pull.<\/p>\n
\u201cWizkid made me listen to H.E.R., Ella Mai, Damian Marley, Don Toliver, Bucie, Normani, Tay Iwar, Anais Cardot, Jasmine Sullivan, Brent Faiyaz, Skillibeng, Shensea, MHD, Ty Dolla, Swae Lee, Tyga, Lay-Z and more. Tonight he\u2019s shaping my type of music again to trap with his collab on Gunna\u2019s coming album #TheLastWun\u2026 this is the reason why he remains the Most Versatile, Successful & Greatest African\/Afrobeats artist,\u201d wrote @BigMallyX.\n<\/p>\n
Not all feedback has been glowing. In a Reddit thread discussing the album, user spaghetti-policy_ shared,
\u201cMy personal opinion: Best song: GP, most streamed song, Sak Pase, best feature, Offset, worst feature, Wizkid, most underrated song, Satisfaction\/On Me, worst song, Prototype\u201d <\/p>\n
And on X, Big Derrick (@abena_sarfowah) didn\u2019t hold back, posting, \u201cGunna has just made the worst decision putting Wizkid on that Album!\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, loyal fans are quick to defend him. \u201cWizkid is a \u2018Failed Glory,\u2019 Wizkid is \u2018Flop,\u2019 but everyone keeps seeking Wizkid\u2019s verse! Can your fav relate?? NO. WIZKID TODAY, Wizkid tomorrow, Wizkid Ayodeji Balogun Forever,\u201d said Instagram user hii__lexy.\n<\/p>\n
Some keep the critique lighthearted. \u201cThis guy Wizkid no fit sing anything without saying she, baby, omoge, nawao who love help,\u201d joked @boi_oroma,\n<\/p>\n
While @kviktoh declared, \u201cThis is the best song on the album, believe or not.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Chart figures aren\u2019t out yet, but Gunna\u2019s past releases, Wunna and DS4Ever (No. 1 debuts), A Gift & A Curse (No. 3), and One of Wun (No. 2), suggest The Last Wun could be headed for another top-tier Billboard 200 opening. Wizkid\u2019s international fanbase may also drive notable streaming spikes in Africa, the UK, and Caribbean markets.\n<\/p>\n
Whether celebrated or criticised, Wizkid\u2019s feature has undeniably positioned him at the heart of The Last Wun\u2019s global conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nigerian superstar Ayodeji \u201cWizkid\u201d Balogun is once again making global waves, this time as a featured artist on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52499,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-52498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
