Wizkid’s associate Godson calls for prayers
In a previous report, the Nigerian star’s associate, Godson, has called for prayers for the music star on social media.
Shortly after the news about his US shows went viral, concerned fans went on social media to ask questions, and some of them also tried to get answers from Wizkid’s associate, Godson, on Snapchat.
In response to a fan’s question about Wizkid’s shows getting cancelled, Godson asked for prayers for the Morayo crooner. According to him, the Star Boy is still grieving and nobody is trying to help him.
He wrote: “Add him to your prayer. Personally, I think that he’s still grieving and nobody is helping him achieve this. Sad.”
Daniel Regha slams Wizkid’s song with Olamide
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that controversial Nigerian critic and social commentator, Daniel Regha, sparked a heated online debate over KAI!, the much-anticipated collaboration between Wizkid and Olamide.
In a tweet, Regha took a direct aim at Wizkid’s lyrical delivery in the collaboration with rapper Olamide. Daniel Regha called the Ojuelegba crooner’s lines in the song unoriginal and repetitive. He wrote, “Wizkid doesn’t really have a good pen game, so not much is expected from his verse in KAI!,” He also pointed out that the singer’s flow sounded almost identical to his verse on Gimme Dat featuring Ayra Starr.
He didn’t spare Olamide either. According to Regha, the YBNL boss — often praised for his lyrical prowess — failed to bring the expected energy to the collaboration. Though Regha acknowledged that the music video was “decent” and helped bring the song to life visually, he expressed disappointment over a scene where Wizkid was seen holding a weed blunt, calling it unnecessary and out of place.
