Tekno Reveals Wizkid's 'Ojuelegba' Inspired His Hit 'Rara'

In a recent interview with Cool FM, Nigerian artist Tekno discussed how Wizkid's song "Ojuelegba" inspired his hit record "Rara." Tekno described "Ojuelegba" as one of his favorite Afrobeat songs, highlighting its classic status and emotional resonance. He expressed shock at the revelation that Wizkid almost did not release "Ojuelegba," which has become a significant track since its release in 2014 as the lead single from Wizkid's second album.

The song, produced by Legendary Beatz, played a crucial role in Wizkid's career, opening doors for him in Nigerian pop music and receiving international recognition, including a remix by British-Nigerian rapper Skepta. Tekno acknowledged the massive impact of "Ojuelegba" on his own career as a reliable hitmaker in Nigeria over the past decade.

Additionally, he mentioned Wizkid's recent performance at the 2026 Afro Nation festival in Portugal and his own upcoming 8-track project titled "Deliv," which explores different genres.
