Afrobeats superstar Wizkid officially launched a new chapter in his career on Thursday night, unveiling the title of his seventh studio album, Sexy, during an exclusive pre-release listening party in Paris.
The private event, held at Cova Club during Paris Fashion Week in collaboration with Deeds Magazine, brought together fashion insiders, music executives and a select guest list for an intimate first listen to Wizkid’s upcoming project.
Taking the microphone before an excited crowd, the Grammy-winning star confirmed that his highly anticipated next album will be titled Sexy, drawing loud cheers from attendees.
The star-studded gathering featured appearances from Nigerian music stars Shallipopi, Young Jonn and Fuji legend Pasuma, alongside international models, designers and creatives in Paris for Fashion Week.
Guests were treated to live DJ sets by Yosa and Gingerboy before Wizkid delivered an intimate performance of unreleased songs from the forthcoming album.
Social media quickly lit up with clips from the event, as fans praised Wizkid’s understated rollout strategy. Rather than a lengthy promotional campaign, the singer teased the project with a cryptic “Album🦅” post before surprising fans with the exclusive listening session just days later.
Many described the move as a “checkmate” that kept attention firmly on the music while avoiding the online drama often surrounding major releases.
Although Wizkid has yet to announce an official release date or tracklist for Sexy, anticipation has reached new heights. Fans flooded social media with excitement, calling the Paris showcase “another global moment” for Afrobeats and predicting the project will dominate charts upon release.
