….another publicity stunt for Wizkid?

Nigerian music sensation Wizkid, on Monday, found himself in the spotlight, but this time, it’s a mixture of both acclaim and controversy.

The artist, known for his chart-topping hits and stage presence, has a knack for capturing attention, often for reasons that stir up conversation.

Earlier in the day, Wizkid hinted at having plenty on his mind but expressed hesitation due to his tendency to speak his mind freely.

However, this didn’t deter him from later taking to the X platform, formerly Twitter, where he dropped a cryptic message: “Jesus is King,” accompanied by his signature bird emoji and a love emoji.

This enigmatic post comes hot on the heels of earlier controversial remarks he made, notably taking a swipe at fellow artist Davido.

In a move that sparked debate among fans, Wizkid shared a viral video allegedly depicting Davido in a beggarly situation, suggesting that his fans should plead with him in a similar manner if they desired new music from him.

As expected, reactions poured in from all corners of the internet.

While some fans rushed to his defence, others were more proactive, unearthing past instances to support their arguments.

Notably, some supporters delved into the archives, uncovering evidence they claimed proves DonJazzy’s influence in the industry, with references to his accolades such as the Music Influencer of the Year award from Pulse TV.

According to Per Second’s findings, Wizkid’s post not only stirred speculation, but it may have also reignited the flames of rivalry between his own fanbase and those loyal to his perennial rival, Davido.

His message’s subtle yet provocative nature, along with his previous controversial remarks directed at Davido, has paved the way for another potential social media clash.

Even as of the time of filing this report, the dust raised by Wizkid’s cryptic post and shades has not settled, with Davido’s fans and music lovers bracing for what has been described as a fierce social media battle for the rest of the week.

The virtual battlefield (social media) is once again ready for heated debates, memes, and perhaps even more pointed jabs as fans of both artists rally behind their respective idols.
