The reports ignited debates online, with many of Wizkid’s fans supporting him as rival fans bashed him.
Burna Boy’s fan and influencer, Benny, in a series of tweets on X, formerly Twitter, criticised Wizkid for being unable to sell out venues.
According to Benny, Wizkid didn’t do enough promotion for the Morayo album before deciding to embark on a tour.

“Even the biggest artists globally still promote their works like they’re still upcoming artists. Ed Sheeran has sold out uncountable stadiums but he recently performed by the road side with a guitar for his fans just to promote his new single and people mocked him. Wizkid’s decline is really sad to witness because his fans have overrated him in recent times and it probably got into his head too much. if we’re being honest, he didn’t grant any interviews for his new album, he only promoted the album online. no interviews, no meet and greets with fans, no public appearances whatsoever, he’s just been indoors and posting links. the concerts tickets won’t sell themselves because the last tour was cancelled and he didn’t make up for that yet. too sad,” he said.
He also suggested that Wizkid’s decline started after his viral online exchange with Davido.
“This Wizkid recent decline after beefing and trolling davido nonstop before dropping his last album. una sure say no be that p bring bad luck? he don dey cancel him tour dates already. just thinking out loud,” he added.
