Wizkid has found himself in hot water after comments he made in his new documentary Long Live Lagos didn’t sit well with some fans and they aren’t holding back. In the doc, the Afrobeats superstar confessed:
“There was no blueprint for me. I had to build a structure for myself.”
Social media quickly exploded after the documentary teaser dropped. Critics argue Wizkid’s line glosses over the critical role of Banky W and his former label Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) the platform that helped launch his career.
One frustrated fan slammed the star:
“This guy is erasing the role Banky W and EME played in his career. Person way Banky dey pick from school enter studio is saying ‘I had to build a structure for myself.’ God sees all.”
On the flip side, some defenders say Wizkid was likely referring to crafting his own sound and brand identity rather than rewriting history.
