Wizkid’s alleged sex tape

WIZKID With the release of his debut album, ‘Star Boy’ in 2011, a star was born. The singles off the album were chart-toppers and radio hits, which had the singer raking in shows by the hour. Meanwhile, fame had its price, on the road to fame, he waddled through a pool of infamy, including a sex tape scandal that almost obliterated his budding career.

Few months after he was falsely reported to have been arrested in Scotland with drugs, a sex tape appeared on the internet. The sex tape, which went viral, showed a Wizkid look alike in a sexual act with an older white woman.

The Ogun State born singer later denied being in the video. ‘I think you are either blind or stupid if you ask me about the tape,’ he wrote on Twitter. Wizkid also released a song titled ‘It wasn’t me’ to clear up all the rumours about him.

From his relationship with Banky W, the drug rumours and of course the sex tape scandal, in the ‘No church in the wild’ by Kanye West and Jay Z cover, the singer rapped: ‘Them say I was caught hands down in a video, them dey run their mouth everyday like radio; nor be me dey the video, (It wasn’t me) dem just put me for gbege na bad man way, only jah go judge their ways.’ The song also featured former EME label mate Skales, but years later, all seems to have been forgotten and this scandal never had an adverse effect on his career.
