The core idea is simple: Wizkid is the best at what he does. However, there are multiple dimensions to holding up that core, and they include – but are not limited to – obsessing over everything (and literally anything) that has to do with the singer, amplifying every single milestone, mobilising support for every release (both new and old), tracking down every contrarian or not-so-great opinion about Wizkid FC and swallowing it with counter-comments to trump any opposing comment.

Within the context of global stan culture, Wizkid FC isn’t necessarily peculiar, they exhibit traits generally linked with stan collectives, such as the Barbz, the BeyHive and Rihanna’s Navy. In Afropop, however, the Wizkid FC has leapt to the forefront – taking the lead from their idol – and remained there in recent years, dominating post-digital era conversations on the ongoing evolution of stan culture in African music.
