Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, globally known as Wizkid, has found himself dominating headlines once again, and this time, it’s for the storm that followed his fiery Twitter exchanges.
The drama erupted when a video capturing Wizkid’s father, Chief Balogun, surfaced online, causing a frenzy across social media platforms.
The footage showed the elderly man walking slowly under the rain, using a stick for support, a seemingly peaceful moment that quickly turned into a viral sensation for all the wrong reasons
In a shocking twist, an X user with malicious intent reposted the video, this time using it to mock Wizkid’s family financial status.
The timing of this insult was particularly pointed, as it followed a thinly veiled jab Wizkid had taken at Davido’s family in a previous tweet, leading to an eruption of fan wars online.
But if the trolls were expecting Wizkid to shy away from the controversy, they were sorely mistaken. Known for his no-nonsense attitude, Wizkid didn’t just clap back—he delivered a masterclass in shutting down his critics.
Without hesitation, he took to his X handle, firing off a response, revealed that his father wasn’t just wandering the streets as the trolls tried to suggest; rather, he was casually strolling towards his Toyota SUV, fresh from a visit to their old neighborhood.
He wrote;
“U see his SUV in front right?!! he actually likes going back to our old hood to take walks ! see the old people and bless them with something small. That’s the kind of man that raised me!”
