Tekno was bigger than Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid. By 2016

 

When he was at his best, Tekno was bigger than Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid. By 2016, Tekno had already worked with Drake, Swae Lee, and Beyoncé in 2019.  But tragedy struck when he lost his voice, and for years, he was unable to sing. During those tough times, he wrote one of Davido’s best songs, which became an instant hit.

 When artists like Rema call Tekno a LEGEND, some fans dismiss it as random cap.  They don't understand how Tekno made Afrobeats artists like Asake, CKay, Rema, and Omah Lay belive that they could easily become global stars something that once took icons like D’Banj decades to achieve.

 Tekno wrote songs for major artists like Drake and Swae Lee, but his career took a heartbreaking turn.  One morning, he woke up to discover his vocal cords damaged.  He was unable to sing, and the envisioned collaboration with Drake was never realized. He was still listed as a producer on the hit song "Won't Be Late" by Drake and Swae Lee. After collaborating with Kizz Daniel to release the song "Buga," which propelled Kizz Daniel's career to new heights, Tekno made a huge comeback in 2023. Today let’s all gather here to celebrate not just a star, but a true legend of Afrobeats.
