So there you have lt and it looks like Wizkid's got the most $$$ in his Bank account at the moment, as for which is them is the most famous? that's hard to tell because despite this collaboration and the obvious Naija connection they cater to different music genres i.e Wizkid -Afropop and Skepta - Rap and Grime.
I would however guess Wizkid has a bigger fan base because he is known all over Africa especially in his home country -Nigeria and is also very popular amongst the African disapora in the UK, USA and Europe, while Skepta's following is confined mainly to the UK's inner city and urban areas of the biggest cities such as London, Manchester and Birmingham where Grime music is very popular.
