If everything goes as plan, Starboy honcho Wizkid will put pen to paper on a mouth-watering music deal with Sony Music/RCA Records with incoming reports suggesting that the proposed deal is the most valuable offer handed to any African artiste signed onto the stable of the music record label giants.

According to a reliable source on Twitter (@OvieO), everything has been agreed in principle and the terms of the deal are said to be mind-blowing.

“All things being equal, Wizkid will put pen to paper on a mega deal with Sony/RCA tomorrow (Tuesday). Everything is agreed in principle.

“The figures being mentioned in the Wizkid Sony/RCA deal are mind-blowing”, he added.

“The deal places Wizkid and Davido on the same platform, which makes things very interesting. (Ayo Jay signed with RCA directly).

“Universal made a strong play for Wizkid (a top exec travelled to London for talks months back), but Sony offered a much better package.”

When signed, the deal will open another vista in the burgeoning career of the pop star who is currently working on his next album titled “Sounds From The Other Side” which is expected to feature many of the recent international collaborations he had with Chris Brown, Swiss Beatz, Sean Paul, Drake and more.
