The next generation of Afrobeats might have just arrived — and it carries the Balogun name. Boluwatife Balogun, popularly known by his stage name Champz, and son of global Afrobeats icon Wizkid, has taken the Nigerian music scene by storm with his debut five-track EP, “Champion’s Arrival.”

Released on November 11, 2025, in Lagos, Nigeria, the project has already surpassed 1 million streams across platforms and debuted at No. 1 on local charts, a stunning feat for the 14-year-old rising star.

The EP blends vibrant Afrobeats rhythms with soulful, introspective lyrics, showcasing Champz’s budding artistry and confidence. Each track, produced by a mix of emerging Nigerian beatmakers, reflects a youthful yet polished sound reminiscent of his father’s early career.

In a viral courtside interview, Wizkid expressed pride in his son’s milestone, hinting that a father-son collaboration could be on the way. He praised Champz’s work ethic, calling it “pure talent mixed with discipline.”

Fans across social media have flooded the internet with excitement, dubbing Champz “the future of Afrobeats.” Music critics have also noted the EP’s authentic vibe and musical maturity well beyond his age.

With “Champion’s Arrival” now gaining global traction organically, industry watchers say Champz may soon step out of his father’s shadow — and into his own spotlight.
