Originally released on June 12, 2011, Superstar marked a cultural turning point for Nigerian pop music. It didn’t just introduce Wizkid – it signaled the arrival of a new sound, a new energy, and a new global ambition for Afrobeats. The album blended infectious hooks with genre-crossing production, appealing to both local and international audiences.
Songs like Holla at Your Boy, Don’t Dull, Love My Baby, and Pakurumo quickly became anthems across Africa and among diaspora communities. For many fans, Superstar was the gateway album that introduced them to a new generation of Nigerian music.
Even in 2025, the album continues to pull in millions of streams monthly, as both longtime fans and a new generation of listeners revisit the body of work that helped spark Wizkid’s now-global career. These streaming numbers not only reflect nostalgia – they reaffirm Superstar’s place as a foundational project in the Afrobeats canon.
This new streaming milestone adds another feather to Wizkid’s already stacked cap and proves that great music, especially when it leads a movement, never fades.
