A New Chapter in the Balogun Legacy
Boluwatife has been preparing for the spotlight for years.
He’s Wizkid’s first son with Shola Ogudu. And even at a young age, he’s shown serious ambition.
At just seven years old, he launched his own clothing line, Czar & Czarina, on his seventh birthday in 2018. This early entrepreneurial spirit confirmed he’s always had that drive.
Now, under the moniker “Champz”, he’s shifting gears to music.
The rap snippet, titled “Champion’s Arrival,” was teased recently on his Instagram page. The lyrics in the short studio clip were bold and self-assured, featuring lines about “zero competition” and the time being right “to pass on the baton” to the new generation.
Boluwatife’s mother, Shola Ogudu, also couldn’t contain her excitement, quoting his post on X with three rocket emojis.

While comparisons to his dad are inevitable, fans are already noticing something different. Champz seems more Trap/Hip-Hop than Afrobeats, carving out his own sound instead of chasing Wizkid’s style. The full single hasn’t even dropped yet, and the internet’s already watching.
