Popular Nigerian Hip-hop sensation, Wizkid, has set the records straight!

The 24-year-old Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, better known by his stage name Wizkid, who is a Nigerian recording artist, songwriter and performer has made it known in an interview that he is expensive.

The singer who started his musical career at age 11, releasing a collaborative album with Glorious Five entitled Lil PrinzIn in an interview with TheNETng earlier this week, made it known that he charges N10million for musical collaborations with artistes he doesn’t love but does it for free with the ones he loves.

“I charge N10million for collaboration but I don’t charge the people I love. (but) I don’t pay for collaborations because I am confident of myself”, the superstar said.

It would be recalled that just few days ago, an upcoming singer, Saeon took to her Instagram page to call out a particular ‘big’ artist she recently featured in one of her songs

Saeon who is obviously unhappy with the ‘certain’ artiste made it known that she paid him N1.5million to feature in her song and was hoping he would help her promote it online because of his massive following but she said she didn’t even get a retweet from him. She however did not mention the name of the  ‘certain artiste’ but everyone knew she was talking about Wizkid.

When Wizkid was asked about his collaboration with singer Saeon, who is not happy that he failed to help promote her song despite paying him N1.5m, Wizkid didn’t deny collecting the money but said he made the song a hit. In his words:

“I made ‘Boogie down’ song a hit, I did the song out of love from my heart.’

It would be recalled that just few days ago, Wizkid’s former producer, Samclef, made shocking revelations on his hate for the music sensation, noting bitterly how he thinks Wizkid is an ingrate. The report which Wizkid replied immediately, saying he loves Samclef no matter what he has said.
