Popular music icon, Wizkid, whose government name is Ayo Balogun
has come out to express his disappointment at statements credited to J Martins.
The controversy was started by a troll who passed a negatve
comment on Wizkid’s instagram page based on a typographical error in a post
Wizkid made on his page. The smart alec comment said Wizkid should go back to
school since he couldn’t speak english. Wizkid who is usually very humble and
slow to anger, got very irritated at the remarks and said the commentator was
like most broke people who lack in substance but are rich in negative opinions.
Wizkid was castigated for the remarks and J Martins was the
latest to respond, in an interview on Hot FM in Abuja, he said Wizkid was being
a bad role model.
J Martins had said, “I’m not taking any side, don’t mean no
beef, no disrespect, and no hate but let the truth be told. I don’t believe
because you feel you have a few change you didn’t have a few years ago and
which you cannot guarantee having in a few years to come then you wake up and
look at those people who have cheered you up, loved you, supported your music,
bought your CD’s, prayed for you, just because you can lay your hands on some
phone and you call them ‘poor’. Am not in and will never be in support of
anyone who has such bad attitude.
“It needs to be corrected, we owe our fans the duty of being
good examples that’s why they hold us in high esteem, that’s why you are a role
model and if you know you cannot be a good role model you have no business in
Music. You don’t know if it’s that person that might help you tomorrow, whoever
does that should be checked.”
In his response yesterday Wizkid tweeted he was disappointed
with J Martins for the remarks.
