In a recent interview, Nasty C talks on the impact of Wizkid and Drake’s 2016 collaboration, particularly the global success of Drake’s One Dance, which featured Wizkid and later became a worldwide chart-topping hit. According to the rapper, that moment changed how the international music industry viewed African talent.
Nasty C said that after the collaboration, many African artistes realized that crossing over into the global market was no longer a dream but an achievable reality. He noted that the song’s success helped break long-standing barriers and gave African musicians confidence that their sound could resonate on the world stage.
The statement echoes what many fans and industry insiders have said for years, that Wizkid’s work with Drake helped accelerate Afrobeats’ global rise, paving the way for more African stars like Burna Boy, Tems, Rema, and even Nasty C himself to gain wider international recognition.
While African music had already been growing steadily, Nasty C believes that collaboration marked a defining “door-opening” moment, one that changed the trajectory of the continent’s music industry forever.
