For young musicians, the leap from practice room to streaming platforms is often daunting. But when you’re the son of a global star, the world watches a little closer. Boluwatife Balogun, known on stage as “Champz” and son of Afrobeats icon Wizkid, has just released his debut EP titled Champion’s Arrival. The five‑track project is now available on major streaming services.

Champz is just 14 years old, making his entry a particularly noteworthy moment in the music scene. The EP’s release date is listed as November 11, 2025. The EP has reportedly already climbed to number one on the Apple Music Nigeria Top Albums chart, surpassing noted artists.

In his teaser and early snippets, Champz’s tone reflects both youthful energy and maturity beyond his years. One of the standout lines mentioned in coverage is “Shout‑out to the OGs in the game, but it’s time to pass on the baton.” He appears to be signalling respect for the past while staking claim to his own future.

The project positions him not just as “Wizkid’s son” but as an emerging voice with something to say. That in itself shifts the narrative from legacy to potential and ambition. His entry carries symbolism: the next generation stepping up, building on foundations while trying to define their own sound and identity.

Of course, the shadow of his father looms large, and that can be both an advantage and a challenge. With a big name behind him, expectations will naturally be higher. But with the early metrics on his side, Champz has given himself a strong launching pad.

As the EP gains traction, all eyes will be on how he evolves: What will his next steps be? Will he lean more into rap, singing, or a hybrid style? How much of his father’s influence will we hear, and how much will he diverge? In any case, Champion’s Arrival is a statement that is young, bold, and full of promise.
