Culled from Punch
It all started as a joke, he was
simply somebody who nobody would give a second glance. That era has
gone. Today, he is an A-list act, headlining shows, getting endorsement
deals and basically, making millions. He is called Wizkid.
No doubt, the young lad has paid his
dues as it were, for few years back, nobody would have thought the
‘errand boy’ would grow to become this big. Indeed, his talents and
luck, shone and now, Wizkid is a superstar.
But it seems stardom is getting to his head.
Recently, the Internet was agog when the singer called a fan ‘broke’ for correcting a grammatical error he made.
The singer posted on his instagram
that he was about to perform at a wedding with ‘an hangover’. The crime
of the fan was telling Wizkid the correct thing to say was ‘a hangover’.
His reply angered fans who quickly
reminded him that he was not born rich and it was the ‘broke’ fans who
made him who he is at the moment.
Wiz hasn’t only been misbehaving
online. The kid took his arrogance to another height when he allegedly
poured his drink on a fan in London.
Speculation has it that all the fan
did was to reach out to Wizkid to greet him. Probably trying to impress
an American hip-hop sensation, Wiz allegedly called the fan, Oloshi
(Idiot). The shocked American took to instagram to talk about Wiz’s
atiitude.
Although the kid was lucky in London,
luck ran out when he allegedly tried ignoring fans who had been waiting
to get a glimpse of him in Lagos. This time the fans physically reacted
to his arrogance.
Dear Wiz was reportedly stoned by
angry fans at the VFS Global Services, Lekki Phase 1 over the his
arrogant attitude and his refusal to part with some naira notes despite
the much accolades he got from the cheering crowd who were so elated to
catch a glimpse of him.
Apparently our wonder boy was in a
foul mood or perharps, he wasn’t given a visa for he ‘boned’ and shunned
the cheering crowd as he walked arrogantly into the waiting Porsche
Cayenne.
It was gathered that Wizkid’s silence
and arrogance got the cheering fans angrier and they stoned him as he
drove off. Unfortunately for Wizkid, one of the stones hit his side
mirror but he didn’t bother stopping anyway.
At the moment, not a few are angry
with the kid and his attitude. Some fans told Saturday Beat that it was
high time they “boycotted Wizkid.”
Another fan Reginald said, “Wizzy is
just a kid and that is what he will be until he grows up! Let’s keep
praying he grows soon.”
