Nigerian music star Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, caused a stir on social media after politely reminding a female fan that he is a married man with children.
The incident happened during Wizkid’s ladies-only party in London on Tuesday.
In a viral video from the event, Wizkid was seen performing while surrounded by a crowd of female fans. One particular woman got too close to the singer, prompting him to pause and gently say, “Baby, I’m a married man, don’t come close to me, I’m married, my kids are at home.”
Wizkid said he’s a married man, Ola from ijube ode say Jada na baby mama, una think say na everything suppose dey internet! 🤣🤣
