Celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji, says she noticed that Nigerian singer, Wizkid, started to act funny towards her last year.
Linda made this disclosure while explaining why she reported the musician to the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Fatai Owoseni.
The blogger had petitioned the CP following alleged threats to her life.
Linda and Wizkid had been at loggerheads lately over a story posted by the blogger on her platform, which the music act found offensive.
In her post on why she involved the police in the matter, Linda refuted claims that she does not like Wizkid.
“I have read a lot online from people saying I don’t like Wizkid. Even Wizkid himself thinks I don’t like him. Why he or anyone would think so is puzzling to me to be honest.
“Apart from his achievements after he started insulting me online a few weeks ago, everything else, every success Wizkid has recorded in the last 3/4 years is on LIB. All the awards, all the record breaking feats, his sold out concerts, his foreign magazine features, and collaborations, everything that has built him up to the young man he is today is on LIB. Please verify! Search my blog,” she said in her post.
Continuing, Linda said, “I was a huge Wizkid fan. The only song I danced harder to than his ‘Dance For Me’ track was Fuse ODG’s ‘Antenna and Kiss Daniel & DJ Shabzy’s Raba. So, no, I had no dislike for Wizkid.”
The blogger pointed out that “about a year ago, I noticed his indirect snide remarks at me and when some other music star beefed with me, Wizkid showed his support and made disrespectful comments.
“That was when I noticed he had issues with me, but that didn’t stop me from writing about him and celebrating him.
“Now to the issue at hand; when I reported that he was served quit notice at his Lekki home, I stated fact and I didn’t write it out of malice. It’s not every day you get exclusive stories and I’m sure any other bloggers who got the story first would also have published it.
“So, there was no beef, I was just doing my job. A day or so after I wrote this story, Wizkid went on my Instagram page to call me names and lied that I slept with some directors of his, which I have said before is 1000% lies!
“But the insult and lies is not why the police is now involved.
“Here’s the thing; you can insult me, insult my family, call me any names you like, even lie that I slept with your forefathers, but don’t threaten me. If you threaten me, I will act!”
It’s well with you Linda. Pls be strong. Wizkid needs to grow up.
