He later released an album and named it Lasgidi Made.
According to Africa Facts Zone, Wisekid earns $73,170 monthly.
Controversies
He was recently trending for allegedly impersonating Wizkid, after he raked so much cash from digital stores since he uploaded the cloned album in October 2020.
Wisekid was alleged to have uploaded a replica of Wizkid's Made in Lagos album on apple music, thereby diverting traffic to his music.
The tracklist of the replica album dubbed "Lasgidi Made" sighted by ghlinks, shares identical title to Wizkid's album, hoodwinking unsuspecting music lovers, especially Wizkid fans.
What appears surprising is most streamers either didn't notice the difference or clicked on his album in error.
Checks by ghlinks also revealed the dubbed album had amassed over 9 million streams translating to a profit of about $70,000 monthly in streams and sales revenue being shared with him.
This was brought to the notice of the public when fans shared screenshots of their Apple Music replay.
Reactions
Following the discovery, Wisekid changed his Instagram handle to @Ayaboyofficial .
The latter is also an imitation of Wizkid's Twitter handle, @wizkidayo.
