Award-winning singer, Ayodeji Balogun better known as Wizkid has angered many as he denounces being an Afrobeat artist.
In a series of posts on his Instagram story, while announcing his new album, Wizkid cautioned Nigerians against categorizing him as an Afrobeat artist. He went on to warn bloggers against posting his new album.
Wizkid didn’t stop there, he read the riot acts as he informed those who fell in love with him during the Pakurumo era to refrain from downloading his new album. For those who love Afrobeat, he also told them not to download his album.
Wizkid went on to brag about his wealth as he claimed he was richer than all.
“Album done! See you soon bitches!

Last year, Wizkid had blasted his millions of fans pressuring him to make new music.
In a series of posts on his Instagram story, Wizkid revealed that he was on holiday and would be back in 4 years. According to him, he wants to enjoy the fruit of his labor before continuing his music career.
He added that he could extend the vacation to 5 years or venture into a new career like playing ball, golf, or wrestling.
Following this, Wizkid had expressed interest in starring in movies. According to him, the only reason he wants to be in Nollywood is to kiss women and shoot guns.
He, however, made it clear that he would be the one to choose the women he would kiss while adding that he loves slapping people as it is his hidden talent.
