Ayo Balogun popularly known as Wizkid is definitely one of Nigeria’s biggest artist and it is often said that he is one of our biggest musical export.
The singer has been bashed online following what he said in a recent interview with DJ Semtex, an English disc jockey and presenter for BBC Radio 1Xtra digital radio station.
The singer revealed that he does a lot of free shows back home in Nigeria and sometimes charges as low as N1,000 for shows.
Below is what he said:
“Big shout to my Naija people. I love them too much. That’s why I do a lot back home. Sometimes I do free shows. I just pull up and say ‘Hey, Wizkid, free show.’ Sometimes I charge like a dollar for a show, sometimes I take like N1000, sometimes when I do shows at the Fela shrine, back with Femi (Kuti) and all that.”
A lot of Wizid fans found the statement displeasing as they can vivdly remember that the last time Wizkid did a free show was in 2013 following the release of his debut album ‘Superstar’.
It can also be recalled that Wizkid sometime ago promised his fans free shows, but cancelled it due to health issues only to later go perform at Rhythm Unplugged where he was paid a huge amount to perform.
