Others, Wizkid FC disagreed with this and commented that Zlatan would have said Hi to Wizkid if not for Davido. According to them, he is trying to be loyal to Davido and 30BG by making it look like Wizkid is his enemy but lowkey he wants him to be friends.
Kizz Daniel’s Management has come under fire for not properly promoting Kizz Daniel’s music.
The dragggin began When A Twitter user posted that Kizz Daniel is the most handsome Nigerian artiste. The assertion stirred a debate on Twitter with many trying to rep their faves as the most handsome Nigerian artist.

A twitter user also said he thinks Kizz Daniel’s PR doesn’t like him for not putting his songs on People’s faces.
Gratitude is a must, and Wizkid understands this phrase and more.
Yesterday, at the FlyTime Music Festival, Big Wiz paused his show to appreciate veteran musician, Wande Coal for everything he did for him when he was an upcoming artiste.
Wizkid recounted how Wande Coal would go out of his way to make sure he was comfortable with the struggles of an upcoming artiste. He also revealed that Wande Coal offered him a place to sleep in when he had nowhere, something that Banky W and his friends couldn’t do.
He further added that he is forever grateful to him.

He further added that he will be giving out a reward of $18,000 that is #10,260,000 to whoever finds it and returns it to him.
An original Cartier glasses is pegged at $10,000 – $20,0000, but with the diamond embellishment on Zlatan’s own, it is way more expensive.

I can relate to the essence of him because there are times where I’m not on social media. There are times when I am on social media. There are times where I put my phone down and leave it somewhere so I can relate to wanting to disconnect from the grid and go offline.
Tristan is a photographer, so Sean, as a performer, can relate to his role’s natural creative side. I don’t agree with everything he does or how he acts or how he says [things] but I can see where he’s coming from, he explained to the outlet.

Nigerian singer, Wizkid is trending for funny reasons on Twitter and Instagram.
It is unusual for a Wizkid’s show to go down without drama. If they aren’t fighting over his jacket, they are fighting for his body parts.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, While Big Wiz was performing on stage at the Abuja Wizkid Live In Concert, a male fan ran to the stage to grab his leg. Fans thought it was just a die-hard fan move, but it became pretty serious after another fan joined the first one on stage to grab Wizkid’s other leg.
Wizkid told his bouncers to take it easy on them as they tried disentangling their hands from Wizzy’s legs. However, They were forced to go against his order when the fans succeeded in taking Wizkid to the ground.
The bouncers aggressively shoved the fans into the crowd and the show went on drama-free.
