Wizkid and Wale have previously collaborated on a Wizkid song, Dropin 2013 and Wale must have liked working with the Starboy so much that he is looking for a repeat.
Wale first announced the album less than two weeks ago after performing at the White House.
This will be another of Wizkid’s growing list of being featured by foreign artists after R. Kelly featured him last year on his latest album, and gists of being featured by Chris Brown, Nico & Vinz, etc.
Nigeria’s Leading colorful & Quality publication Super Crush Magazine has unveiled its latest February edition of the Freely distributed magazine.
The cover has Pop Artist, Ibrahim Balogun aka Wizkid adorning the cover, while prolific producer Dj Coublon and HipTv fast rising Presenter Nancy Isime both grab features in the magazine.
Also Wizkid has officially been named Super Crush Magazine’s Artist Of The Year for 2015, while the new girl on the block, Beverly was named Female Act to Watch out for in 2016.
Binta Diallo’s pregnancy for Wizkid photos – A Guinean lady by the name of Binta Diallo has given birth allegedly to a baby belonging to Nigerian singer, Wizkid.
Wizkid and Miss Diallo reportedly hung out while the Jaiye Jaiye singer was in the United States, and things appear to have gone a little too well.
According to Diallo’s close friend, American TV personality Natalie Nunn, the baby’s father is Nigerian, and Diallo all but confirmed Wizkid’s paternity as she named the child “Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun Jr.”, all of Wizkid’s names.
Wizkid is yet to confirm or deny the paternity of the child, but I think congratulations are in order. See photos of Binta Diallo below!
Binta Diamond Diallo, the woman who is said to have had a child for singer, Wizkid some few days ago has finally spoken about her situation.
She spoke to American media outlet, The Shade Room about her son which she named Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, Jr. after his father. According to Binta, Wizkid has not shown interest in seeing his son yet, and hasn’t shown much interest in being a father.
Binta says that she just wants him to step up and be a man about his responsibilities.
If she is right, this will be his second son. In 2013, he had a son who was later named Boluwatife Balogun.
Skales regrets Wizkid attack – Singer Skales has spoken about his one-time spat with former label mate, Wizkid, describing the whole scenario as a “mistake”.
“That’s one of the mistakes I made and I feel like I’m growing in the eyes of the public so definitely, I know that you can never benefit from things like that,” Skales said.
“So I’ve become a better person now, I’m more grown now, I’ve realized that I’m a role model, a lot of people look up to me and so there’s some mistakes I cannot do.”
Skales and Wizkid have now made up however, with both taking a picture together at Tunde Demuren and Tolu Oniru’s wedding today.
He also spoke about the wave of song theft allegations in the music industry right now, saying he could never allow it happen to him. “If you steal my lyrics, I’m coming for you,” he said.
The world’s most famous fashion and lifestyle magazine, Vogue has crowned Wizkid as “Nigeria’s Best-Dressed Pop Star” on its online platform – vogue.com
Interviewer, Alex Frank, a contributor on Vogue.com got Wizkid to talk about his fashion influences where he names Pharrell, Lagos lifestyle, Nigerian fashion and so on.
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.He introduced Vogue to Nigerian tailors and cited the European influence on modern Nigerian fashion as well as his favourite foreign brands.
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.Wizkid also revealed that he will be starting his own fashion line which will be made of “tracksuits, T-shirts, hats, and African attire as well.”
“I’ll have a special line for traditional [clothes] with my tailors”, he says casually.
“Talking fashion, music, anything—Africa is on top of all that” he declares.
The article addresses Linda’s ‘poverty mentality’, which is what the writer chooses to call Linda’s obsession with reminding people that she is wealthy.
And in similar fashion, her fans followed suit in informing Wizkid that Linda was ‘richer’ than him.
“@wizkidayo @theNETng lol all ur earnings till u resign from music won’t get u up to her level. Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.go to school first of all and get educated,” one Twitter user announced.
Wizkid has neither responded nor followed up to his shade and neither has Linda Ikeji acknowledged it.
Linda Ikeji subtly clapped back at the singer in an article posted on her blog. In an article where rapper, The Game, stood up for his baby mama against an internet troll. She titled the article, “When Your Baby Daddy Is Not A ‘Deadbeat’…”.
This is in reference to an interview of Wizkid’s Baby Mama where his baby mama specifically called him a ‘deadbeat’.
Linda Ikeji further wrote in her article on The Game, “The Game swiftly responded, (unlike a deadbeat father who hasn’t started to cater for his child)”

Olamide gets point and kill chicken named after him, alongside Wizkid
Award winning presenter, Freeze, visited the market to purchase some poultry protein; when he asked the seller for the type of chickenavailable, he was informed there are two types of chicken in the market, thin Wizkid and fat Badoo.

Freeze has been in the spotlight over his bluntness a number of times. His new joke will not taste sweet going down the ear of either artistes lest they come for him on a track.
Or better yet, just ignore him until something else takes his attention away from them.
On a real note, Nigerians though, how can you name Wizkid and Badoo after chickens? This is the kind of joke you say ‘it’s not funny’ to while laughing your ass off.

Behind the scenes of the official music video of Nigerian
Afrobeats artistes Runtown featuring Wizkid, song is titled “Lagos to Kampala” Produced by Maleek Berry, Runtown’s Ghetto University The video which will soon be set for release was directed by seasoned director, Sesan Ogunro
Wizkid who has had a long standing feud with Linda Ikeji put all subtleties aside and attacked her head on calling her a bitch on an Instagram photo she posted.
Earlier today, Linda Ikeji reported that Wizkid has been served eviction notice from his Lekki home, saying she thought he bought the house. Wizzy who has subtly made it known that he hates Linda Ikeji went all out on her in the comments section of an Instagram post she made showing off one of her bags.
A photo posted by Linda Ikeji (@officiallindaikeji) on
Wizkid commented, writing “All those shoes and bags still won’t help u keep a man! U and ur laptop will stay married for life! That’s why my director fucked u and left ur ass in the hotel Cus your pussy stinks! Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view. I goggled “Linda at 25″ and found nothing. U wish u had all I have at 25! Ur mom and ur entire family are losers! U nothing but a blogger! All that money won’t change that. If I ever see you, I’ll get my 16 year old cousin to beat the shit out of u. Ugly old bitch! Just stay indoors and hide behind ur laptop! #UglyBitchLinda!”
She did not hold back and even spilled even more tea about the “25 year old” singer.
She started out lowkey saying,
So my darling little ‘friend’ Wizkid came on my IG page this morning to blast me for writing yesterday that he was given quit notice at the Lekki home he claimed he bought some years ago, which he actually rented. He threatened to beat me up…called me an ugly old bitch…(I’m ugly? lol) says I don’t have a man (crying over that..) and called my mum a loser…(what a child).
Anyway, all that don’t matter, people have said worse to me…what I wanted to address is the part where he said I slept with his director and he left me in a hotel…that one I will definitely want to address because some people actually believe it. That my dear friends, is a lie!
She then went on to emphasize that she has had no contact with Wizkid before nor anybody affiliated with him. She says she keeps from entertainers altogether and is mostly celibate (Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.).
First and foremost, I’ve never met Wizkid one on one. I’ve only seen him once in real life on stage at a show a few years ago. I’ve never met anybody who is his director. Guess he put that line in his comments to defame me. You that mad that people now know the house is not yours? Lol.
Trust me, if I knew someone was Wizkid’s director, I’d rather kill myself than sleep with him or any other entertainer for that matter (except maybe he’s my husband..hehe) because I know how some of these entertainers are…they kiss and tell a lot. You can’t afford to be messing around in their circle. So, no, I have NEVER slept with Wizkid’s director. I live a celibate life..most of the time. (Though, that has to end soon…I’m getting old and missing out on that part of life…lol)
I’ve always been an advocate of women respecting their bodies and owning their own. And I feel sex should only happen when you’re in committed relationship (that is if you can’t wait till marriage) and I recommend celibacy for a long as you’re not committed to someone. There’s absolutely no dignity in sleeping around and messing around with different men. It’s ugly and God don’t like ugly. So no, I’m not that woman, and will never be that woman. Nice try, Wizkid!
After clearing that, she then went further to expose more details of her and Wizkid’s interesting relationship. According to her, Wizkid even tried reaching out to her with an olive branch but she didn’t bite since she has no problem with him.
Having said that, I’m sure, you wonder why Wizkid is so mad at me? To be honest, I don’t know either. All I know is that his beef with me started a long time ago but he decided to start bashing me online after I refused a meeting with him. A few months ago, he asked his PR people to contact me, that he wanted to talk to me. For some reason, he thought I didn’t like him and I was hurting his image online. He wanted to see how I could write more positive things about him but I turned down the meeting. Not that I have anything against him, I sincerely don’t! I think he’s an amazing talent and one of the few music stars in Nigeria with a midas touch. So this wasn’t personal. I just didn’t want to meet him. If he lobbies me then it means I won’t be able to write anything about him anymore…and my job is to write…about everything, including entertainers.
I am cordial with some of them…many of them I have never met. I try to stay away from gatherings where they are because the more friends you make in the entertainment industry, the less you can write. And that will inadvertently affect your work. The few ones that I call acquaintances, it’s hard to write about them because you feel you’re cool with them and even when you write, they call you to complain. So, the fewer ‘friends’ I have in the entertainment industry, the better my job will be.
So Wizkid can bash me all he wants…but I will continue to do my job. Maybe he thinks the more he bashes me, then I will stop writing about him? Won’t work. But meanwhile, if he tells a lie about me, I will address it. LIB plans to be around for a long time…some of these people will come and go! :-).
Thanks everyone and Wizkid’s fans for reading my response.
Then as if that was not enough, Linda fired off more shots by announcing that Wizkid’s luxury car does not belong to him either! Then fired off one last parting shot.
Oh and by the way, did I mention that his Porsche car is also on hire purchase? Oh shit, I just mentioned that! And no, darling, you’re not 25! We know your real age! Continue to have an amazing career while I watch and continue to celebrate you.

So there it is, wide out in the open. What do you make of all these revelations?
On the much publicized spat between blogger, Linda Ikeji and musician, Wizkid, fellow musician Davido has registered his allegiance with the Wizzy camp, as expected.
Davido posted a video on Snapchat (where he was distastefully wearing a jacket flying the Confederate flag, but that’s a matter for another day) showing Wizkid with him alongside other goons.
Davido announced “we outchea, nigga!” and Wizkid continues by saying “one love, we making money” (). Davido shouts, “Money nigga! Fuck the blogs!!”.
Don’t know if this is off Drake’s forthcoming album but be rest assured that Drake and Wizkid alongside Kyla are about to take you on a dancehall/afropop/afrobeat bumpy ride with this groovy tune titled One Dance.
Listen to One Dance by Drake ft Wizkid & Kyla below
Wizkid has become the first Nigerian artiste to appear on Billboard +Twitter Trending 140 Chart thanks to his feature in Drake’s’One Dance’ which also had Filipino R&B singer, Kyla.
Two days ago, alongside One Dance, Drake released ‘Pop style’ featuring Kanye West and Jay Z which also made an appearance on the chart.
Despite numerous criticism, many of which claimed that Wizzy was insignificant in the song or could have done better, I think this is good for the star pop singer as it has helped improve his brand visibility amassing increased PR mileage as well.
