The afrobeats star debuted his Starboy merch exclusively at REIGN.

Wizkid had a show-stopping weekend at One Africa Fest in New York City, but kicked it off by first showing fans love at his Starboy Pop-Up in the Meatpacking District Saturday afternoon.

The afrobeats star debuted his Starboy merchandise collection at REIGN, the retail shop that has the threads on lock exclusively for purchase. Supporters and tastemakers gathered to peruse and support the line's three t-shirts, hoodie, bomber jackets, bandanas, stickers, badges, posters, pins and Starboy cups.

The event was definitely a vibe—the positive connection Wizkid has with his fans is infectious. Take a look at images from the pop-up, shot by Samuel Kwame Osei, below.
