Nigerian superstar Ayodeji “Wizkid” Balogun is once again making global waves, this time as a featured artist on American rapper Gunna’s freshly released 25-track album The Last Wun.
Dropped on August 8, 2025, the project marks Gunna’s sixth studio album and his final release under YSL Records and 300 Entertainment. Alongside Wizkid, the star-studded guest list includes Offset, Burna Boy, Asake, and Nechie, blending melodic trap with Afrobeats, rap, and R&B influences.
“Wizkid is no longer a normal human, he’s now a god!!! Jesus, see music,” gushed X user @GucciStarboi after hearing the collab.
For others, it’s yet another example of the singer’s cross-genre pull.
“Wizkid made me listen to H.E.R., Ella Mai, Damian Marley, Don Toliver, Bucie, Normani, Tay Iwar, Anais Cardot, Jasmine Sullivan, Brent Faiyaz, Skillibeng, Shensea, MHD, Ty Dolla, Swae Lee, Tyga, Lay-Z and more. Tonight he’s shaping my type of music again to trap with his collab on Gunna’s coming album #TheLastWun… this is the reason why he remains the Most Versatile, Successful & Greatest African/Afrobeats artist,” wrote @BigMallyX.
Not all feedback has been glowing. In a Reddit thread discussing the album, user spaghetti-policy_ shared,
“My personal opinion: Best song: GP, most streamed song, Sak Pase, best feature, Offset, worst feature, Wizkid, most underrated song, Satisfaction/On Me, worst song, Prototype”
And on X, Big Derrick (@abena_sarfowah) didn’t hold back, posting, “Gunna has just made the worst decision putting Wizkid on that Album!”
Still, loyal fans are quick to defend him. “Wizkid is a ‘Failed Glory,’ Wizkid is ‘Flop,’ but everyone keeps seeking Wizkid’s verse! Can your fav relate?? NO. WIZKID TODAY, Wizkid tomorrow, Wizkid Ayodeji Balogun Forever,” said Instagram user hii__lexy.
Some keep the critique lighthearted. “This guy Wizkid no fit sing anything without saying she, baby, omoge, nawao who love help,” joked @boi_oroma,
While @kviktoh declared, “This is the best song on the album, believe or not.”
Chart figures aren’t out yet, but Gunna’s past releases, Wunna and DS4Ever (No. 1 debuts), A Gift & A Curse (No. 3), and One of Wun (No. 2), suggest The Last Wun could be headed for another top-tier Billboard 200 opening. Wizkid’s international fanbase may also drive notable streaming spikes in Africa, the UK, and Caribbean markets.
Whether celebrated or criticised, Wizkid’s feature has undeniably positioned him at the heart of The Last Wun’s global conversation.
