Nigerian singer and music producer, B-Red, cousin to music superstar Davido, has shared his thoughts on fellow Afrobeats icon Wizkid and the ongoing online criticism surrounding him. In a candid interview, B-Red expressed admiration for Wizkid, describing him as a “sensible person” despite the constant negative commentary directed at the Grammy-winning artist.
The entertainment industry has always been rife with rivalries and opinions, and recent months have seen fans and critics alike take to social media to weigh in on various artists, including Wizkid. However, B-Red’s comments serve as a reminder of the complexities behind public perceptions and the need for respect in the industry.
“I don’t know why people keep dragging Wizkid,” B-Red said, reflecting on the growing trend of online attacks against the “Essence” singer. “He’s a very sensible person and has contributed massively to the growth of Afrobeats on the global stage. People forget that sometimes.”
B-Red went on to highlight Wizkid’s accomplishments, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging the hard work and dedication that has made the Nigerian music scene internationally recognized. “Sometimes, people forget that these artists are human too,” he added. “Wizkid is a hard worker, and he’s doing his best. We all face challenges, but it’s important to stay grounded.”
The backlash against Wizkid has ranged from criticisms of his recent music releases to attacks on his public persona. However, B-Red’s defense signals solidarity within the Nigerian music industry, reinforcing the idea that artists should support one another rather than tear each other down.
B-Red, who is also known for his hit songs such as “Uju” and “Fall For You”, has been close to his cousin, Davido, whose own relationship with Wizkid has garnered much media attention over the years. While there have been moments of tension between the two superstars, B-Red’s comments reflect a more conciliatory and mature perspective, emphasizing unity in the face of outside criticism.
As B-Red continues to carve out his own path in the music industry, his call for greater respect among artists could spark important conversations about how celebrities handle public scrutiny in the digital age. His remarks are a reminder that, despite the pressure and drama that often surround the music industry, mutual respect should always be at the forefront of conversations about talent and success.
