WizKid – Closer ft Drake | Nigerian Star Explains Why Drake Is Not Featured In The Music Video

It’s definitely Starboy Season and there’s nothing that your favourite artist can do about it. Wizkid released his latest single, “Come Closer” which featured Drake last week but we had no idea that the video was going to be released so soon after that. WizKid gets the ladies bouncing along in his kaleidoscopic video for the Drake-assisted “Come Closer.”

A new blonde haired Wizkid is seen sporting an all-white outfit with some swamp green boots in the opening scenes. The video itself is wonderfully shot in studio with dancers who are clad in African-face paint.

One thing we couldn’t help but wonder is: Where is Drake?! Are you seriously telling me that Wizkid and Drake don’t have the time to meet up for their own music video? The Canadian rapper is heard once more but he doesn’t feature in the visuals to the dance hall track. Thankfully, Wizkid gave us what seems to be an acceptable answer:

While the 6 God, who worked with the Afrobeats star on his Billboard Hot 100 smash “One Dance,” is absent in the visual, ebony queens with fire dance moves and a zebra make an appearance.

The self-proclaimed Starboy (no relation to The Weeknd) recently inked a multi-album deal with RCA Records/Sony Music International and has landed guest spots on Wale’s upcoming album Shine as well as Justine Skye’s “U Don’t Know.” Upon his signing announcement, he dropped his initial offering “Sweet Love” on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show.

The Ojuelegba hit maker is currently working on his forthcoming debut album. In the meantime, groove along to the “Come Closer” video below and let us know if you think Wizkid held it down on his own at the comment box below
