Famed American singer Chris Brown has expressed his deep gratitude to Nigerian superstar Wizkid, recalling a remarkable act of generosity.
In a post shared by Luthortv, Chris Brown referred to Wizkid as his “brother for life,” reflecting on how the artist’s kindness left a lasting impact on him.
Brown revealed that although he had performed extensively across the U.S., he hadn’t had the opportunity to perform in the UK for years—until Wizkid invited him to his 2021 O2 Arena concert.
Beyond just the invitation, Wizkid also covered all of Brown’s expenses, which moved the American singer deeply.
“Wizkid invited me to my biggest stage in the UK in 10 years. I had been performing all around America and had not gone there for any show before. One day, Wiz called and told me he was getting everything set for me to come to his 02 Arena concert. He paid for everything, and I was wowed. Wizkid is my brother for life.” Brown shared.
Brown’s long absence from the UK stage stemmed from a ban imposed in 2009 after he pled guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. The UK government cited his conviction when denying him entry in 2010, preventing him from performing there for years.
The 2021 O2 Arena concert, where Wizkid brought Chris Brown on stage, marked a major moment in his career, and Brown continues to express his deep appreciation for Wizkid’s support.
Their friendship, built on mutual respect and a shared love for music, has strengthened over time, and Chris Brown’s heartfelt recognition of Wizkid has touched many fans.
