Fast-rising Nigerian artist Champstiz, born Allen Perelade Opuaye, is gaining attention not only for his newly released EP Born A Champion, but also for an interesting conversation happening around his image and presence.
The six-track project, led by the energetic single “Zigemo,” explores themes of growth, resilience, love, and self-discovery, with additional tracks Rum, Where, Nene, Find You, and Controller showcasing his versatility across Afrobeats and street-hop sounds.
Beyond the music, fans have begun to point out striking similarities between Champstiz’s looks and styling and Afrobeats superstar Wizkid. From his fashion choices and calm confidence to his lean frame and subtle stage charisma, many listeners say the resemblance is hard to ignore.
Adding to the intrigue is the coincidence that Wizkid’s son, Boluwatife Balogun, is popularly known by the nickname “Champz” — a name that closely mirrors Champstiz’s own branding.
Fans have taken to social media asking: Is this simply a coincidence, or could it be part of a bigger plan? Destiny? Alignment? Or, as some supporters boldly suggest, God’s plan?
While Champstiz has not directly addressed the comparisons, one thing is clear with Born A Champion, he is carving out his own identity and stepping confidently into the spotlight.
Coincidence or divine alignment, the conversation is growing and so is Champstiz.
