There seems to be some drama brewing between Canadian born American rapper Drake and Nigeria’s very own star boy Wizkid.
Now here is where the story begins, Wizkid for a longtime has always
referred to himself as “Star Boy”. Suddenly, last year Wizkid gained
more international exposure as he wrote and co-produced Drake’s
Billboard number one hit song “One Dance”.
The “Star Boy” moniker got a little controversial when Canadian
singer Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, released a
single and subsequently an album called “Starboy”. As expected Nigerians
reacted to the allege plagiarism of the star boy trademark.
It’s seems Drake is backing fellow Canadian The Weeknd as the real
star boy. This alleged beef was brought to notice by a London based
social media personality Oyemikke.
Oyemikke in his vlog replayed a video footage at Drake’s concert
where he introduced The Weeknd as the real “Star Boy”. Most annoying was
the fact he kept emphasizing “the real star boy” as he called The
Weeknd on stage for a performance.
You can also recall Drake’s “One Dance” video was shot and Wizkid was obviously not in the video.
While Drake performed at the O2 arena in London he brought to stage
UK artistes like Section boys, Kayla but not Wizkid who was present at
the venue.
