Wizkid to Headline CANEX 2025 Mega Concert in Algeria Amid ₦6.4bn Pay Rumors
Nigerian music superstar Wizkid has been officially confirmed as the headline act for the CANEX 2025 Mega Concert in Algiers, Algeria, taking place on Friday, September 5.
The concert is part of the Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) 2025, running from September 4–10, a festival that celebrates Africa’s creative industries — from music and fashion to film, literature, and visual arts.
Organisers described Wizkid’s inclusion as a huge boost:
“Renowned for his infectious Afrobeat rhythms, chart-topping hits, and magnetic stage presence, Wizkid has become one of Africa’s most celebrated music icons.”
Social media, however, has been set ablaze with claims that Wizkid will earn up to ₦6.4 billion ($4.2 million) for the performance. While entertainment blogs like @tooxclusive_com and @entdaily001 amplified the buzz, the organisers have not officially confirmed the figure.
This wouldn’t be Wizkid’s first big paycheck — from $681,200 at an Indian royal wedding (2018) to $3 million at the AIA Sound Festival in Denmark (2025), and nearly $1 million from his Madison Square Garden show in New York, the star continues to set records.
With past performances at the O2 Arena (London) and State Farm Arena (Atlanta) also raking in close to $900,000 each, Wizkid’s CANEX 2025 appearance is shaping up to be another history-making moment.
