Nigerian superstar Wizkid sparked controversy on Friday, March 15th, with a series of statements on his Instagram story.
The artist vehemently denied being categorized as an Afrobeats artist. He used strong language, stating “I am not an Afrobeats artist! Don’t call me that hoe!“ This suggests a potential shift in his musical direction, possibly towards an R&B sound, aligning with his recent musical output.
Further confusing fans, Wizkid issued a seemingly contradictory statement. He directly addressed Afrobeats lovers, saying “if you like Afrobeats please don’t download my album.“ This has left many fans wondering if the new album caters to a different genre entirely.
Social media is abuzz with reactions to Wizkid’s outburst. Some fans speculate that this is a marketing ploy to generate interest in his new album. Others are genuinely confused and concerned about the future direction of his music.
