Multiple award-winning Nigerian singer, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, better known by his stage name Wizkid, just left Nigerians wondering ‘Why’ after he allegedly told a lie about his actions in Nigeria.
The 26-year-old is working on promoting his single ‘Come closer’ in the US.

The interview was going fine, with the ‘Ojuelegba’ singer showing off his accent and getting better at it, then he was asked about the love Nigerians show him, he said he was so loved, and then in a bid to show that he reciprocates that love, he allegedly lied.
