The duo, who have been rocking the entertainment scene both within and outside the shores of the country with their brand of music are the latest additions on the list of Nigerian musicians.
They have been chosen as ambassadors for the brand following Ashionye who was signed as face of Pepsi Lite in 2007, and Lynxxx who represented the brand in 2010.
Speaking at the event, Pepsi manager, Mazen Almasri said"Pepsi is delighted to bring brand these two very talented Nigerian musicians on board. They represent the Pepsi brand essence of inspiring a youthful lifestyle and refreshing the world of our consumers."
According to Almasri, Pepsi is very passionate about developing talents that abound in Nigeria, whether in football, as the Pepsi Football Academy has been doing for the past 20 years or the newly introduced MBA Harvard Business Scholarship aimed at giving young Nigerians a world class education. Globally, Pepsi has for many years, used soccer and music stars for marketing campaigns.
For the Pepsi boss, the brand will support Tiwa Savage and Wizkid to take their music careers to the next level through promotion within and outside the shores of the country.
