Recall that Wizkid while announcing his new album, cautioned Nigerians against categorizing him as an Afrobeats artist. He went on to warn bloggers against posting his new album.
Wizkid didn’t stop there, he read the riot acts as he informed those who fell in love with him during the Pakurumo era to refrain from downloading his new album.
His statement didn’t sit well with many who slammed him for disrespecting the genre of music that paved the way for him.
