      You too think far lol,I honestly know what you mean because I am always very good at reading action and people's postures lol.
      Let me analyze the picture for you further, if tuface was his height we will admit he acted the fan while wizkid the boss .

      In this case tuface acted that way because of his height as wizkid is short for him to stand upright,so If you take a deep look yiu will see that tuface wanted to come down to his level so wizkid won't look like pikin or tata or baby lol. Tuface swag still over show wizkid lol.
      As for wizkid changing his name is no big deal,the fame and recognition is already established no doubt.

      I thought naija already has an artiste named Wizboy ,and the Us has wizkhalifa,whizzy ,breezy(chris brown)

  27. Sigh, this guy is a fool!

  28. Alicia haba. Why label him a goat? Aren't they all auto-tuned? BET must like him because he won an award. It's a starter. He can still use Wizzy as opposed to Weezy for Lil wayne.

  29. It takes nothing away from him, he is still the bomb

    ReplyDelete
  43. he is even too tiny sef. why is he removing the kid? he still looks a kid abeg let him keep it jor. besides naija celebrities and copy cat. why did he use wizkid if he is going to change it someday. let him keep it, when he born, let him dash the name to his kid.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Saucekid still kept d "kid" even @40 so puliz let em be n by d way mama linda he is 22 nt 23 whack journalist... Misleading peeps

    ReplyDelete
  45. I dnt see his reason 4 d change of name, neways dat's his business. Can't imagine Lil Wayne waking up 1 day nd changing his name 2 Wayne. Come 2 think of it 'Lil' being d abbreviation of 'little' is even more childish dan 'kid'.Lil Wayne still 1 of d best rappers of our time, Kid Cuddi isn't far behind. So erm, changing name doesn't matter at all

    ReplyDelete
  46. He should keep the name joor. Its what he started with, he started as a kid so there's no need to change it. And all u dumb asses that called him talentless, make una tell us una name make we count how many pple know u.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Like all the other singers with Lil' or Kid
    this poc is disturbing why they so skinny???

    ReplyDelete
  48. He shuld jst leave d name jare, wht of charlyboy
    Hehehehehehehe

    ReplyDelete
  49. I dunno why artists don't like using their real names. Ayo Balogun better pass all.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Lil Kim is 38 and hasn't removed the "Lil" in her name. I don't think it matters, but it's his choice to do as he wants or pleases.
    As for Alicia, you're right that he is 100% autotuned, but no need for you to be too negative. You need to realise that most of our local artists aren't vocalists, they're just good at entertaining with their music, e.g D'Banj, Wizkid, Davido, etc. It's people like Dare and Omawumi dat are vocalists

  51. he is still a kid jor... kmt
