Nigerian music act, Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, professionally known as Oxlade has shared the career-related advise he got from his Ayodeji ‘Wizkid’ Balogun.

He said Wizkid advised him to observe his style of music and figure out a way of being unique without copying him.

Oxlade made this known during an interview on Kiss FM UK as he talked about his performance at the 21,000 capacity Accor arena in Paris, France.
