A series of controversial old tweets from Afrobeats superstar Wizkid have resurfaced on social media, sparking widespread outrage and accusations of predatory behaviour.
The unearthed tweets, posted in January 2010, capture a
then-20-year-old Wizkid expressing his attraction to a girl who had visited his
former record label EME.
In the initial post, he expressed his disappointment upon
learning her true age, writing, “Damn!!! dis girl is tooooooo cuteeeeeeeeeee!!…
but she’s 14! crying… she looks 19! crying”.
In a follow-up tweet, the “Ojuelegba” singer suggested he
might overlook the age gap, stating, “Dis girl too cute, I go bone age, kai”.
The conversation at the time also involved his then-label
boss Banky W, who referenced the incident in a tweet.
So @wizkidayo likes this cute girl that came to say hi. Except she's 14. I've told him EME no get rkelly money yet ohhhh
— Banky Wellington (@BankyW) January 16, 2010
Cautioning his signee, Banky W wrote, “So @wizkidayo likes
this cute girl that came to say hi. Except she’s 14. I’ve told him EME no get
rkelly money yet ohhhh,” a clear nod to the R. Kelly child sexual abuse
scandal.
The rediscovery of the posts led users to uncover other
alleged tweets from Wizkid, some dating back to 2009, which contained similarly
alarming statements.
One purported post from 2024 read, “Might need small girls for my next shoot, I love them kids”.
Since the posts began circulating, Wizkid appeared to have deleted them from his X account. The incident has ignited a firestorm online, with the public reaction sharply divided.
Many users have condemned the singer, labelling him a
“pervert” and a “pedophile,” and expressing horror at the nature of the
comments, particularly the suggestion of disregarding a child’s age.
However, a contingent of defenders has argued that the 2010
exchange shows a young man who, despite finding someone physically attractive,
was ultimately acknowledging the legal and moral boundary when he expressed
frustration that the girl was 14 and not 19.
They contend the “I go bone age” comment was a crude joke,
not a statement of intent.
Below are some of the reactions:
This tweet was 2010. Wizkid was 19. He had a crush on a girl who looks 19 but when he find out her age was 14. He backs off and can't be with her because of her age.

A 14 year old is a child. Wizkid was a 20 year old when this tweet was made which makes him an adult.

A grown man publicly making comments about a 14-year-old is nothing to joke about.

The fact that he typed that so comfortably is the real embarrassment.
This mindset has put young girls in danger for years.
Those old tweets weren’t normal then and they’re not normal now.… https://t.co/ka3dBGK8JR
