Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Wizkid recently became a trending topic online after an unedited photo of him surfaced. The image, shared by the Instagram account @blackxcellence, portrays the 34-year-old singer with a darker complexion and visible facial lines.
The post, captioned as “a close-up of Wizkid’s face,” sparked a range of reactions, from surprise to humor and critique. One user, @julian_baller, made a light-hearted comparison by saying, “Davido never caught unfresh 😂,” suggesting that Wizkid’s appearance gives Davido a youthful edge.
Another comment by @Mr.azeezofficial criticized Wizkid’s recent look, saying, “His throwback photos look better than now; makeup and editing must be helping him. Stay away from drugs, folks.”
Fans of Wizkid and Davido also engaged in their ongoing rivalry, with @obaxperience1 commenting, “Look who calls Davido ‘Osakpolor’ 😂😂. Sometimes, I wonder why Wizkid fans insult Davido when Wizkid doesn’t match up to him.”
Further comments offered various reactions. User folatush01 noted, “Ignore this picture; if you’ve seen Wizkid in person, you’d know he looks fresh and youthful. Let the critics talk; the love Wizkid’s fans have for him isn’t for sale.”
Other remarks included drino5376’s quip, “Did they forget to edit this one? 😂” and temidayo_30bg’s observation, “I never said he isn’t cute, but he’s definitely aging.”
