Wizkid Sparks Controversy with Veiled Criticisms Aimed at Industry Giants
Nigerian music sensation Ayodeji Balogun, professionally known as Wizkid, recently stirred up social media with veiled criticisms directed towards industry heavyweights including Don Jazzy and fellow artist Davido.
The controversy began when Wizkid responded to a fan’s mention of comments made by artist Ladipoe.
Expressing his reluctance to engage with someone signed under an ‘influencer’ like Don Jazzy, Wizkid’s remarks sparked intense online debate and speculation among fans and observers.
Some fans speculate that Wizkid’s comments may be part of a strategic move ahead of an upcoming music release, while others wittily suggested Burna Boy should step in to ‘take control of Wizkid’s phone’ to prevent further controversial statements.
Continuing to engage with his followers, Wizkid candidly shared his daily frustrations, expressing that he often holds back from speaking his mind.
Amid discussions with fans about channeling these thoughts into new music, Wizkid playfully replied, ‘Is it by force?’ This banter continued as fans jokingly demanded new music from him, referencing a viral video of Davido in a crying state.
This exchange, alongside expressions of admiration for Prophet Odumeje, added layers to Wizkid’s unexpected social media interactions and hinted at the complex nature of his relationships within the industry.
