Reactions have trailed the latest action that Nigerian singer, Ayodeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid took on his Instagram account.
The music star, who was spoken glowingly about by his senior colleague, Baba Dee weeks ago, had deleted all pictures on his Instagram account with 18.1million followers.
A social media user known as Theoon Sage claimed that the Morayo crooner was trying to use his action as a public relation strategy.
According to him, it was no longer 2018 where people delete posts and unfollow others just to create a PR stunt.
Theoon Sage remarked that such method was a not a good PR strategy. He compared what Burna Boy did to that of Wizkid.
He noted that Burna Boy created drama with a baddie and even went as far as removing a picture from his album cover.
Sage praised Davido for his well-thought-out PR strategy and asked Wizkid to learn from him.
Sharing more about what artists do with their PR stunts, Theoon Sage wondered why many singers don’t consult public relations firms.
He also asked why artistes are often shamed of using a songwriter. He opined that Afrobeat had gone global, and Nigerian singers cannot afford to be sloppy in their approach. Theoon Sage also advised Nigerian artists to grow up.
Many fans in the comment section of the post agreed with Sage, they joined him in dragging the Ojuelegba crooner and shared his intention.
