A viral video has stirred widespread reactions after an elderly man boldly claimed during a church service that Afrobeats star Wizkid is his biological son.
The incident unfolded while a preacher was delivering a prophetic message, saying the man was surrounded by people of great wealth.
Seizing the moment, the man stood up and declared, “Wizkid is my son. Balogun married his mother. Look at me well—I am Wizkid’s father.”
The unusual claim has ignited debate across social media, with many viewers casting doubt on its truthfulness. While some found the video amusing, others dismissed it as an attention-seeking stunt.
"Nigerians, please help me! My son, Wizkid Ayodeji Balogun, is a music superstar and billionaire, but he has left me suffering in Benin City," claims a man asserting he is Wizkid's biological father. 🙆🏼♂️ | EdenTv Viral pic.twitter.com/H7SReRInou
