Bolu sings about his father
In the recording, he was heard using Jamaican patois as he addressed his father. He said, “Big Wiz wagan wha ya say,” which means, “Wizkid, what’s up? What’s going on?”
Champz rapped for a couple of minutes, displaying boldness and confidence in his delivery.
Fans react to Champz’ new music
Fans reacted with mixed opinions after watching the video. Some praised the teenager's confidence and growth in music.

Others drew comparisons between him and Davido’s fans, while some also took a swipe at Seun Kuti, following his past altercation with Wizkid.
However, a few netizens revisited Wizkid’s past comment where he described rap music as “dead, tired, and boring,” saying he no longer listens to the genre.
His senior colleague, MI, had earlier disagreed with that view, encouraging rappers to stay committed to their craft.
Recall that after Bolu began his music career, there were reports of interest from event organizers, but his mother declined such offers and explained her reasons.
