Why I turned down Puma deal – Wizkid

Grammy award winning artist, Wizkid




Afrobeat singer Wizkid has fired back at critics, revealing the real reason behind Puma’s partnership with Davido.

In a blistering social media tirade, Wizkid claimed the fashion giant couldn’t meet his financial demands.

He lambasted a critic, Nelson Epega, saying: “U idiot! I turned down Puma because they could no longer afford to pay me. After all, I wanted more! Don’t need that! Way bigger than every artiste you just mentioned! Not jealous! Love them all. With your dirty ass shirt! Idiot!

“No! Puma is a big brand! But the budget they had for Africa wasn’t for me! Was cool for your client tho!” (The Nation)
