Legit.ng reported that on July 29, 2023, Wizkid made history as the first Nigerian artist to headline the iconic London stadium with his More Love, Less Ego concert.
The event also saw the artist mingling with Premier League stars, including Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, while Everton's Alex Iwobi and fellow Nigerian musician Seyi Vibez were spotted at the 62,850-capacity venue.
Accusation of Not Selling Out
On the podcast, Gracey Mae stated that Wizkid didn't sell out the massive venue, contrary to popular belief. Adesope, the podcast host, admitted he couldn't dispute her claim, as she worked with Live Nation, the entertainment company responsible for ticketing major tours and festivals.
Gracey further alleged that since the Tottenham Stadium concert, Wizkid has struggled to attract such a large crowd.
Wizkid compared with Burna Boy and Asake
Gracey noted that Burna Boy, in contrast, has consistently demonstrated the ability to fill similarly large venues, having sold out his last London show.
She also commented on Asake, stating that, despite his rapid rise, he is still early in his career and will not be able to headline a stadium of that scale.

"Wiz is past glory. After all the insults and trolling before releasing his album. It took only one song from davido to dethrone a whole album of 16 songs. Davido has the number one song in Nigeria. He also claimed that David is cheap, but he shared the stage twice with David this December and David closed the shows twice. He even performed before burna boy."
