Afrobeat star Wizkid
Wizkid’s first post on
Twitter today is an angry lash out at fake pastors.
The Afrobeat star took
to his Twitter page this morning to curse fake preachers and state that he does
not endorse any pastor or church.
“Starboy no dey endorse
no Pastor or church o! Ogun kill u fake pastors!”he tweeted.
This is coming a few
hours afterDavidodebunked claims that he was promoting a Common
Wealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) event in a viral video.
In the video, Davido
asks a little girl where she would be on the first week of January, to which
the girl replied that she and her mother will be at a 12 days COZA event. The
mother also backed up the child with more information about the event after which
Davido proceeded to say,
“Yea, my name is Davido
I’m a musician, and I put God in everything first I do.”
The video met with
backlash as social media users accused Davido of promoting and being an
ambassador of the disgraced (?) church.
Wizkid later went on to
retweet a post byTiwa Savage in which she called outCOZA for using
a comment fraudulently obtained from her to promote an upcoming COZA event:
“It has been brought to
my attention that there is a viral video which includes me advertising an upcoming
COZA event. I want to state that I have nothing to do with the church and
generally do not endorse their events.
“I’m extremely
disappointed that I was fraudulently approached to simply comment on how good
God has been to me, and it has been wrongly edited to use my image to create an
advert to deceive people.
“COZA, this is wrong! I
will be taking action if this is not immediately retracted,” he tweeted.
In a second tweet by
Wizkid, he alleged that he was approached by a certain lady from an unnamed church:
“And for dat lady that put a camera in my face! Ogun kiss u and your church.”
Wizkid is not new to
social media outbursts. During the spate of the Xenophobia attacks that rocked
social media some months backs, the “Ojuelegba” crooner rebuked some celebrities
over their insensitive comments on the issue. (The Guardian)
