Powered by the hashtag #PrayersforWizkid, prayers were showered on the singer by his fans popularly known as Wizkid FC, after the Essence crooner made his first tour appearance in Boston on Friday.

Named after his fourth studio album, ‘Made in Lagos’, the tour has been met with high anticipation.

Earlier in the month, Big Wiz caused a stir on the internet after selling off the O2, one of UK’s biggest event centers, in a space of two minutes.

The tour which was announced in July, will see Wizkid performing in US cities from September 10 till October 16. While dates are yet to be confirmed, the father of three will also tour the United Kingdom later in the year.

He is also slated to hold concerts in Canada from January next year. Global sensation Wizkid has announced an third UK date at London's O2 Arena on Wednesday 1 December as part of his Made In Lagos tour.

The extra date comes after overwhelming demand for the afrobeats star's first and second shows at London's O2 Arena, which sold out in 12 minutes and two minutes respectively.

While the tour comes in support of his Made In Lagos album, Wizkid has remained prolific in his output since that album dropped last year. He most recently released a remixed version of his hit song 'Essence', featuring a special appearance from Justin Bieber and Tems. The summery dancefloor filler will feature on the Made In Lagos Deluxe Edition, set for release on Friday 27 August.

Made In Lagos has been a hit since its release, thanks to its guest appearances from Burna Boy, Skepta, Damian JR Gong Marley, HER, Ella Mai, Tems, Tay Iwar, Projexx, and Terri, and hit singles like 'Ginger', 'Essence', 'No Stress', and 'Blessed'.
