Fans of Wizkid have taken to social media in celebration after the global music star received a Grammy certificate linked to a reggae album victory at the 67th Grammy Awards.
The certificate recognises Wizkid, born Ayodeji Balogun, as a featured artist on Bob Marley: One Love – Music Inspired By The Film (Deluxe), which won Best Reggae Album in February 2025. His contribution, a cover of the iconic track “One Love” by Bob Marley, formed part of the critically acclaimed soundtrack to the Marley biopic.
While the circulating document is a participation certificate issued by Recording Academy and not an official Grammy trophy, it has done little to dampen the excitement among fans, who see it as another milestone in Wizkid’s expanding global influence. The singer previously secured a Grammy win in 2021 for Brown Skin Girl alongside Beyoncé.
The development has quickly reignited the long-running rivalry among Afrobeats fan bases online, with supporters hailing Wizkid as the genre’s leading figure, while trading banter with fans of Davido and Stonebwoy.

Many fans argue that recognition on a Grammy-winning project carries significant weight, regardless of the form it takes. One user noted that Wizkid’s role in a project tied to the Bob Marley legacy underscores the growing global footprint of African music, adding that contribution to a winning body of work remains a mark of excellence. Others described the moment as further proof of the singer’s enduring relevance and international reach.
The viral reaction reflects Wizkid’s continued dominance on the global stage, as Afrobeats artists deepen their presence in major international award circuits and collaborative projects.
