Wizkid’s Son, Champz, Becomes Youngest Artist to Debut at No. 1 on Apple Music Nigeria
Wizkid’s 14-year-old son, Boluwatife “Champz” Balogun, has made a stunning entry into the music scene with his debut EP, Champion’s Arrival, which debuted at No. 1 on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Albums chart.
The five-track, 11-minute project, released on November 11, 2025, soared to the top of the charts within just five hours, earning Champz the title of the youngest artist ever to reach No. 1 on Apple Music Nigeria.
Blending Afrobeats with touches of UK grime, Champion’s Arrival highlights Champz’s lyrical confidence and artistic independence, featuring no collaborations—a bold statement for a debut project.
The young star’s achievement has sparked massive buzz across social media platforms, with clips from the EP trending on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter). Fans and industry watchers alike have praised his musical maturity and distinctive sound, noting striking similarities to Wizkid’s early beginnings.
With Champion’s Arrival, Champz not only steps out of his father’s shadow but also sets a new benchmark for young artists in Nigeria’s vibrant music scene.
