A man in Benin City has ignited a storm of reactions online after releasing a video where he tearfully claims to be the biological father of Nigerian music superstar, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid.

In the emotional footage, the man pleads with the public, saying he has been left in poverty while his alleged son enjoys global fame and billionaire status. “Nigerians, please come to my aide. My son Wizkid is a music superstar and a billionaire, but he has abandoned me here in Benin City to suffer,” the man says.

The video, which surfaced on social media platforms earlier this week, has gone viral, amassing thousands of shares and sparking heated debates across the country. While some viewers expressed sympathy for the man and called for Wizkid to respond, others remain skeptical, questioning the timing and authenticity of the claim.

So far, Wizkid has not issued any public statement regarding the allegation. Attempts to reach his management have also yielded no official response.

This is not the first time a public figure has faced familial claims under the glare of social media. As speculation continues to mount, fans and the general public alike are waiting to see if the Grammy-winning artist will address the matter.

For now, the man’s identity remains unverified, and no legal or DNA evidence has been presented to support his claims. Nevertheless, his plea has opened up wider conversations about celebrity responsibilities, family estrangement, and the power of social media to shape narratives in real time.
