Big Brother Naija star Kess Adjekpovu recently stirred up a lively online conversation after sharing his thoughts on Wizkid’s highly anticipated album, Morayo. The Grammy-winning artist released the album on November 22, 2024, in the early hours, dedicating it to the memory of his late mother.
The album, which features 16 tracks, includes collaborations with renowned artists such as Brent Faiyaz, Jazmine Sullivan, and YBNL’s Asake. A standout feature is the intro by the legendary K1 De Ultimate, adding a special touch to the project. Fans and celebrities alike took to social media to share their reactions to Morayo, with many praising the album’s heartfelt nature and its fusion of diverse sounds.
However, Kess Adjekpovu, a former BBNaija season 7 contestant, added a twist to the conversation by posting on X that he tried to listen to the album but ended up falling asleep. His comment sparked various reactions from fans and fellow celebrities. While some defended the album, asserting that it was a reflective and soulful project, others agreed with Kess, citing that the mellow tone of the album might not be for everyone.
Kess’s candid remark added to the ongoing discussions about Morayo, which has divided opinions in the Nigerian entertainment space. Some listeners have praised Wizkid for his emotional tribute to his mother, while others, like Kess, feel that the album’s vibe may not be as engaging for certain audiences. This has sparked debates about the evolving sound of Afrobeats and the differing tastes of its global fanbase.
“Decided to listen to MORAYO. SLEEP CATCH ME.”
After receiving backlash, Kess expressed that he believes the song will grow on him eventually.
“UP AND GRATEFUL. MORAYO STILL NEVER SWEET ME. I guess it can’t grow on me.”

@dealwkay: “Omo Wiz don leave normal music for normal musicians. This guy is on a different level and it’s not even hype,it’s reality. From the production to the vocals. No clout features, you just know man just wanted to make music not just to drop song. If you don’t like that album, then you know nothing about music. An album cannot be bad and be charting and gathering streams. Most of you criticize it online and hide in your room, dancing to it.”
