While Wizkid has undeniably solidified his status as one of Nigeria’s most prominent and influential musicians, he has also garnered attention for stirring up controversy through his statements and actions.

From public feuds with colleagues to controversial remarks, Wizkid has often found himself at the center of heated debates that capture the attention of fans and critics alike. Despite his musical prowess, Wizkid's unfiltered nature has led to several memorable moments that have left an indelible mark on the Nigerian music industry.

In this article, we take a closer look at five times over the last decade when Wizkid publicly lashed out, chided, and shaded some of his colleagues in the music industry, sparking uproar on the internet and beyond.

In a move that sent shockwaves through the internet, Wizkid stirred controversy by posting a leaked video of his colleague, Davido, on his social media handle on Monday, April 29, 2024. This incident marked one of the latest instances of Wizkid's online attacks, causing a significant uproar among fans and observers.

Using the viral clip as a tool to convey a message to his fans, Wizkid made a bold statement about the release of new music. He juxtaposed Davido's actions in the leaked tape with the demands of his fans, suggesting that they must plead with him similarly if they want him to drop new songs.

In one of the instances where Wizkid publicly took aim at his colleagues online, he targeted none other than Don Jazzy, a highly respected figure in the music industry. This incident, which occurred on Monday, April 29, 2024, marked one of Wizkid's seven notable confrontations with fellow artists.

Don Jazzy, renowned for his influence and impact on the Nigerian music scene, was on the receiving end of Wizkid's verbal attack. Responding to a comment made by Don Jazzy's artist, Ladipoe, Wizkid did not hold back, labeling the icon's record label as merely an "influencer's" imprint.

The derogatory remark stirred widespread outrage among fans, who viewed Wizkid's comment as disrespectful to a senior colleague. Don Jazzy's accolade as the influencer of the year for 2023, awarded by Pulse.ng, only added fuel to the fire, highlighting the significance of his contributions to the industry.

In a notable incident that fueled the longstanding rivalry between Wizkid and Davido, Wizkid aimed a barb at his fellow artist, referring to him as "frog voice." This episode, which occurred in 2017, remains etched in the annals of their contentious relationship.

The rivalry between Davido's 30 Billion Gang (30BG) and Wizkid FC reached its peak during this period, characterized by intense online battles between the two factions and their respective leaders. It was amidst these heated exchanges that Wizkid chose to taunt Davido, mocking his vocal abilities with the derogatory label "frog voice."

4. Wizkid's public confrontation with Reekado Banks

Wizkid found himself in a public spat with former Mavin signee, Reekado Banks, showcasing his social media prowess in addressing grievances. The altercation, which unfolded in 2020 amidst the #EndSARS movement, shed light on the complexities of artist collaborations and professional conduct.

Reekado Banks announced the impending release of a song titled Omo Ologo featuring Wizkid, accompanied by the #EndSARS hashtag. However, Wizkid swiftly responded, expressing his displeasure at the timing of the release. He called for the post's deletion, labeling the move as inappropriate given the sensitive nature of the ongoing social movement.

Wizkid's public rebuke of Reekado Banks resonated across social media platforms, with many weighing in on the controversy. While some criticized Wizkid's approach, suggesting private communication would have been more appropriate, others applauded his commitment to the #EndSARS cause and his stance against exploiting it for personal gain.

5. Soulja Boy's response to Wizkid's decade-old tweet

American rapper, Soulja Boy found himself entangled in a social media exchange with Nigerian superstar Wizkid, shedding light on the enduring impact of online interactions.

The confrontation stemmed from a tweet posted by Wizkid back in 2010, resurfacing years later to spark a renewed bout of controversy. In the tweet, Wizkid had criticized Soulja Boy, labeling him as "wack" in a display of unfiltered candor.

A decade later, Soulja Boy stumbled upon Wizkid's old tweet, prompting him to respond with a retaliatory message. Despite the passage of time, Soulja Boy's comeback carried a similar level of intensity, although it failed to generate the same level of reaction as Wizkid's initial remarks did.
