Video: Debates rock social media as Wizkid was spotted rolling a joint for ASAP Rocky

Nigerian Afrobeat superstar Wizkid, born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, has set the internet abuzz after being spotted rolling what appeared to be mar@juana (popularly called “igbo” in Nigeria) while hanging out with American rapper A$AP Rocky. The video quickly captures the two stars in a casual setting, sharing laughs as Wizkid expertly prepares the joint.

The video has sparked a series of reactions from Nigerians, with fans, critics, and observers all weighing in. Some (fans, precisely) celebrated Wizkid’s laid-back moment with A$AP Rocky, hailing it as another example of the Afrobeat icon’s international relevance.

A fan enthusiastically commented, “Na Wizkid dey roll Igbo for A$AP Rocky, Machala no get level” Others, however, were less amused, expressing concern about Wizkid’s lifestyle and its influence on his young fans. “Na igbo go k@ll this guy,” wrote a concerned social media user. “Wizkid too dey smoke abeg. He needs to set a better example for his followers.”

“Wizkid is living his life. If it’s not affecting his music or career, why are people pressed?” “Young people look up to Wizkid. This is not the kind of role model behavior we need.” This isn’t the first time Wizkid has been associated with marijuana use.

The Grammy-winning artist has often been public about his love for the herb, referencing it in his lyrics and flaunting it in his lifestyle. Yet, this video, particularly due to A$AP Rocky’s involvement, has drawn significant attention and triggered debates about celebrity influence and responsibility.
