If they failed to recognise someone, they were played one of the artiste’s songs as a clue.
The girls, originally from Nigeria and Ghana, initially missed Fireboy DML’s photo but quickly recognised him after hearing his hit track Peru.
They also failed to identify Oxlade, and while they recognised Skales’ Shake Body, they admitted they did not know what he looked like.
The biggest surprise came when they were shown Wizkid’s photo. Although his face looked familiar, they could not name him.
Even after listening to Come Closer, his collaboration with Drake, they still failed to recognise the Grammy-winning star. When the interviewer revealed it was Wizkid, one of the Ghanaian girls joked:
“He has changed, maybe he did plastic surgery.”

Interestingly, the trio had no difficulty identifying Burna Boy, Davido, and Rema from their photos, sparking debates online about generational differences in how artistes are recognised.
This lighthearted clip has since gone viral, with fans weighing in on how even global icons like Wizkid can sometimes be unrecognised by younger audiences abroad.
