Wizkid has put MTV Base in their place after the music station drew unhealthy comparisons between himself and iconic singer, D’Banj.


The drama started yesterday after the ‘Ojuelegba’ singer dropped the images of his collaborative single with Drake and got everyone talking. Many people called out Drake for not appearing in the music video, while many others compared Wizkid’s successes to D’Banj’s.

Wizkid clarified yesterday that Drake couldn’t appear in the music video because he was on a tour of Europe when it was shot. However, the singer flipped when MTV Base compared him to D’Banj who had featured Kanye West in his remix of ‘Oliver Twist’.

“ So disappointed in y’all for bringing this up. After everything king Dbanj done in the game?!! Pls show respect!” The Starboy slammed the music station and the offensive comparison was immediately taken down.
