Wizkid
is in the eye of the storm again. This time, some students of the American
University of Nigeria in Adamawa, accused him of failing to honour an
invitation to perform in their school, even after he had been paid the sum of
N8.9m.
One
of the students with the name @Mr Tawiti went on Twitter to attack Wizkid in a
series of tweets. He accused Wizzy of failing to show up at their school, after
he had allegedly been paid N7m as artiste’s charge, N1.2m for Logistics, as
well as feeding and accommodation for ten people who were supposed to come with
the ‘Pakurumo’ singer.
@Mr
Tawiti also stated that Olamide had initially turned down their offer, claiming
that he can’t afford to come to the North for just N4m. However, Wizkid, in his
characteristic manner, did not take it lying low, as he also took to his
Twitter handle with guns blazing towards bloggers. He wrote, ‘Even when you’re
trying to be lowkey and keep it cool, they still try to spread false rumours. I
love my fans in the north. Love to you and yours…so anyone can get a Twitter
account and tweet something crazy about you and the dumb ass bloggers will
share the story without confirmation? I just wanna (sic) make music, perform to
my amazing fans and live my life low key! No bad vibes!!’
It
should be recalled that this isn’t the first time Wizkid will be having this
type of issue with students. In 2013, some students of the University of Lagos
had dragged him to the police on the allegation that they paid him for a show,
but he refused to perform. Wizkid later stated that it was a case of mistaken
identity as the person who the students communicated with about the show wasn’t
a member of his team.
Efforts to contact Wizkid and his team proved abortive as at the time of filing
this report, even as the student maintained that Wizkid was actually paid the
said sum of N8.9m after long negotiations.
