On Saturday (March 4), Chart Data, via its official Twitter handle, reported that Nigerian Grammy-winning singer Wizkid had sold over 1 million career album units in the US.
This news is coming a few days after the singer postponed his MLLE tour, due to unforeseen logistical circumstances (as stated in his Twitter post).
