14-Year-Old Champz (Son of Wizkid) Launches Debut EP “Champion’s Arrival”
A Rising Star Enters the Spotlight
At just 14 years old, Boluwatife Balogun — son of Afrobeats icon Wizkid — has officially stepped into the music scene under the stage name Champz. On Tuesday, November 11, he released his debut five-track EP titled “Champion’s Arrival”. This marks the start of a new musical chapter for the young artist.
A Bold New Sound
Unlike his father’s signature Afropop style, Champz chooses a fresh direction. He leans into rap, Afroswing and trap influences. Early teaser clips showed both a strong lyrical flow and a calm, polished presence that belies his age. Many listeners reacted with surprise and excitement.
The Announcement & Release
Champz confirmed his launch with a social-media post:
“11/11: The Champion has arrived. My debut EP ‘Champion’s Arrival’ Out Now on all streaming platforms!”
He also shared links to major streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and Audiomack. With this release, he signals he’s ready to compete in Nigeria’s vibrant music scene.
Fan Reactions & Legacy
As soon as the announcement dropped, social-media platforms erupted with praise. Fans noted that this isn’t just “Wizkid’s son doing music” — instead, they’re seeing a young talent making his own mark. It echoes the early days of Wizkid himself, who began music as a pre-teen in a choir and later released his first album at age 11.
Naturally, Champz inherits a built-in audience and some industry advantages thanks to his family name. However, the real question is how he will use that advantage while carving out his own identity.
What’s Next
Now that the EP is out and the buzz is growing, the next step matters. How will Champz follow this release? Will he collaborate with major producers, hit playlists or grow a unique style? Time will tell.
Meanwhile, this debut sets a strong foundation for what could be a significant career ahead.
