Wizkid's Viral Social Media Response
In a pointed social media post on his X account, Wizkid criticized Burna Boy for celebrating the attack, referencing a viral video where Burna Boy mocked DJ Tunez by dancing, falling to the floor, and chanting "Ogbafia dey for ground." Wizkid wrote: "Pu$$y niqga Jump a dj with 10man carry diddy towel Dey dance. I never see fool like this diddy babe for my life."
