Wizkid, the renowned Afrobeat artist known as Ayodeji Balogun, stirred online attention due to his somewhat awkward interaction with his first son, Boluwatife. At the funeral of Wizkid’s mother, the father of four encountered Boluwatife, his son with his ex-partner, Boluwatife Balogun. The exchange between them was captured in a video that has since gone viral.
In the video, Boluwatife appeared to keep his distance from his father, who was surrounded by security. He seemed hesitant to approach until Wizkid called for his attention. They briefly exchanged a hug before parting ways. This interaction has prompted discussions, with some criticizing Wizkid’s parenting.
Several reactions and comments ensued:
– Some users expressed concern about how Wizkid might treat his son in the future.
– Others pointed out that the video showed a disconnect between Wizkid and his child.
– Some users called attention to Wizkid’s parenting style and the impact on his children.
– People drew comparisons with his rival, Davido, who is often praised for his involvement in his children’s lives.
This incident is not the first time Wizkid has faced criticism for neglecting his children from different mothers, especially after having a child with his manager, Jada Pollock. Netizens have previously called out his parenting style and compared it to Davido’s.
In the past, a vacation video with one of his sons, Zion, led to questions about his relationships with his other children. Wizkid did not publicly acknowledge his first son Boluwatife’s birthday, which sparked criticism. He was also absent from Boluwatife’s graduation, causing some to question his involvement in his children’s lives. Wizkid has four sons with different mothers, and his second son with US baby mama Binta is less visible in the public eye.
