@sonja0707
Wizkid is being dragged by Northboi, the producer of his recent “hit song”, ‘Joro’ for not giving him credit for the song.
Northboi who became popular from his work with Wizkid on Soco went on Twitter on Saturday the 5th of October to tweet about not being mentioned by an artiste who people concluded to be Wizkid for his work on Joro.
Although Northboi did not mention Wizkid’s name, the song which he referred to as two biggest songs ‘Ojuelegba’ and ‘Don’t Dull’ are from Wizkid so it is safe to imply he is talking about Wizkid. He said;
Quote
imagine being so powerful person wey you do beat for dey fear to promote you make you no pass am. Na my hand you collect your last global hit. after me all you have is ojuelegba and dont dull.
