Nigerian superstar singer Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has sparked a flurry of discussions and speculation with his recent decision to respect personal boundaries during a performance with fellow songstress, Tems.

This cautious response from the Ojuelegba crooner may be attributed to a controversial incident that took place during the “Made In Lagos” concert at London’s O2 Arena in 2021. Wizkid had attempted to lift Tems during the performance, which garnered a range of reactions on social media. Some users accused the Starboy Entertainment founder of assault, while others dismissed it as a mere accident. In a recent video clip, the tables were turned as it was Tems who initiated the hug with Wizkid. Fans were quick to draw comparisons to the past incident, highlighting the noticeable change in dynamics between the two artists. @ itsmicmagic said; “Tems take it easy 😂❤️” @_wfromeo said; “Why she come she Dey hug Wizzy like say na baby 🌚😂” @wurd_bishop said; “Now if this was wiz hugging and touching her,umu uwa will say he is sexualizing her,so now that it is the other way round what will you term it?” @kingstepheniv said; “Women are not talking now ooo.

In a surprising turn of events, Nigerian musician Zinoleesky has unfollowed his idol, Wizkid, on Instagram, leaving fans speculating about the possible reasons behind this unexpected move. The incident occurred on Zinoleesky’s Instagram page, where an attempted search for Wizkid’s handle “@wizkidayo” resulted in a disappointing message, “No users found.” The news quickly spread across social media platforms, causing a wave of confusion and concern among music enthusiasts.
