Billboard has received varied reactions from Nigerians on social media after mistakenly attributing a song to American rapper Wiz Khalifa rather than Afrobeats singer Wizkid. On its official Instagram page, the international organization promoted Jamaican singer Shenseea’s latest single titled ‘Work Me Out’ starring Wizkid. However, in the caption, Billboard tagged Khalifa and Shenseea’s handles rather than the Nigerian artist, which sparked outrage.
A Davido fan appeared to criticize Wiz for the mistake made by the music and entertainment magazine, saying, “Even Billboard no sabi Wizkid again.” Wiz Khalifa, ke”. This sparked a heated online battle between Davido’s followers, known as 30BG, and Wizkid FC, who defended the ‘Ojuelegba’ singer.
