The next generation of Afrobeats talent has officially emerged, as Boluwatife Ayodeji Balogun, the 14-year-old son of superstar Wizkid, launched his music career with his debut project. Performing under the stage name Champz, the young artist released his five-track EP, Champion’s Arrival, on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. This highly anticipated Wizkid Son Tife Debut EP signals his bold entry into the industry, independent of his father’s iconic legacy.
Tife Balogun announced the project on social media, declaring, “The Champion has arrived. My debut EP Champion’s Arrival is out now on all platforms.” The project quickly garnered praise from fans who noted his confident delivery and lyrical maturity. The Wizkid Son Tife Debut EP features tracks such as “Champion Montana,” “Grind,” and “Superstar,” showcasing his distinct sound which blends Afrobeats production with rap verses delivered in a British accent, reflecting his upbringing.
The teenager had previously generated buzz with a teaser on social media, where he audaciously stated, “Shoutout to the OGs in the game, but it’s time to pass on the baton,” and “I’ve got zero competition.” His mother, Shola Ogudu, has been very supportive, publicly celebrating her son’s accomplishment. The EP is available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.
This Wizkid Son Tife Debut EP positions Champz as one of the youngest artists making waves in the Nigerian music scene. While the EP focuses on his own personal narrative and confidence, fans and industry observers are keenly watching to see how the young star develops his skills and whether he will eventually collaborate with his father, carrying the Balogun creative legacy forward.
