Nigerian producer Sarz has officially received his UK Afrobeats Chart Award for the hit single Getting Paid, a collaboration featuring Wizkid, Asake, and Jamaican dancehall star Skillibeng.
The long-awaited presentation took place on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at the BBC 1Xtra studio in London, celebrating the track’s phenomenal chart success.
Chart Dominance
The award recognizes Getting Paid‘s exceptional performance after it debuted at No. 1 on the UK Official Afrobeats Chart on October 5, 2025, and successfully held the top spot for three consecutive weeks.
The song, which appears on Sarz’s debut album Protect Sarz at All Costs (released September 26), was lauded for its infectious sound and broad international appeal.
During the live presentation, the host praised Sarz for his consistency and the song’s dominance, playfully acknowledging the delay in the award presentation.
“The album is banging and let’s just say, getting paid. Wizkid, Asake, and Skillibeng held onto the number one spot for three weeks, my guy, and you’ve finally been able to join us. So this is a delayed presentation.”
Sarz Expresses Gratitude
Sarz, dressed in a black leather outfit and dark sunglasses, accepted the award plaque with a heartfelt speech, expressing appreciation to his UK fans.
“Thank you guys so much. I love you guys. This is second home, to be honest. I love the UK.”
The host wrapped up the moment with a playful salute, “Sarz must be protected at all costs.”
Getting Paid showcases Sarz’s signature minimalist production layered with Asake’s catchy melodies, Wizkid’s smooth delivery, and Skillibeng’s dancehall flair, a blend that reaffirms Sarz’s reputation as one of Africa’s most innovative and influential producers.
