Nigerian superstar Wizkid is confirmed to headline the AiaSound Festival, scheduled for August 2, 2025, in Copenhagen. The fifth annual edition of the festival — themed "Unleash The Vibe" — will also feature British rapper Skepta, among other international acts.
Rumors swirling in entertainment circles suggest that Wizkid was paid a staggering $3 million for the performance. However, reliable industry breakdowns and fee estimates place his usual international show rate in the range of $800,000 to $1 million.
-
Wizkid reportedly charges between $800,000 and $1 million per international gig, depending on factors such as venue size and location.
-
His highest publicly verified fee remains $1 million for headlining Toronto’s Rolling Loud Festival in 2022.
At the alleged $3 million fee, Wizkid's rate would significantly exceed that of contemporaries like Burna Boy and Davido, who reportedly command similar but lower ranges.
Reddit discussions and affordability analyses have flagged claims of multi-million dollar single-show payments as exaggerated—clearly beyond the typical range for even top-tier Nigerian artists abroad.
