Chris Brown has expressed his deep gratitude and admiration for Nigerian singer Wizkid, revealing that he will never forget the kind gesture Wizkid extended to him. In a heartfelt post shared by Luthortv, Chris Brown referred to Wizkid as his “brother for life” due to the support he received from him during a challenging period.
Brown explained that despite having performed extensively in America, he had not been able to perform in the UK for over 10 years, following a ban after his 2009 conviction for assaulting his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. However, in 2021, Wizkid invited him to perform at his O2 Arena concert in London, marking Brown’s first UK performance in a decade. Wizkid went the extra mile by covering all of Chris Brown’s expenses for the event, an act that deeply moved Brown.
He described Wizkid’s gesture as an incredible show of love, noting, “Wizkid invited me to my biggest stage in the UK in 10 years… He paid for everything, and I was wowed.” This event solidified their bond, with Chris Brown declaring Wizkid as his “brother for life.”
This touching story highlights the strong camaraderie between the two artists, as well as the influence of Afrobeats on the global music scene.
