letter to wizkid by disappointed fan
finally got his wish of leaving the recording
company that made him, EME, and so far saying
i am disappointed is an understatement.
Many of us have forgiven the 24 year old star for
releasing a mediocre album, for his standard, but
two things we cannot forgive him for are 1)
putting in mediocre work into promoting the
album and 2) for reducing the quality on his
music out of nonchalance.
Wizkid almost didn’t promote the AYO album
because after-all, it was his get out of jail
clause from EME. But since getting out of jail,
that is, leaving EME, Wizkid’s projects have
resembled that of an upcoming artiste.
ALL the videos he has released under his
Starboy imprint are below standard, even for a
hungry artiste who wants to make it big in the
game.
The video for Show You The Money was OK, but
since it is about money that was a poor video.
The video for In My Bed is ridiculous. Wizkid
knows this, exactly why he said the video is not
a video after he released it, he said it was a
“party” and that “he was having fun”. Wizkid you
are a top artiste… no games, no fun, just quality.
After releasing In My Bed, Wizkid abandoned
AYO album for months, he kick-started Starboy
Mondays. He went on to release 2 mediocre
singles and 3 below par videos.
Wonder is a 4/10 song at best, while Sound It is
a 3/10 song if you want to be forgiving. The
videos for the two songs are not Wizkid
standard. What a drop in quality.
After this he returned to AYO again, who does
this? Only Wizkid. A man who is unsigned,
makes all the decisions for himself – safe to say
a man without a proper plan or company
structure. His fans expected big things from
Ojuelegba , once again Wizkid failed, maybe that
was a little bit harsh. Wizkid failed to deliver. He
released a 1/10 video for arguably the best song
on his AYO album.
At this point it looks as if Ibrahim Balogun just
wakes up from bed, shouts on the microphone
and releases it.
He’s also announced an official single for next
month, if i were you, i will look forward to
another disappointment from the hugely talented
artiste, for now.
What can Ayo Balogun do better? He needs to
have a team. He needs to strategise again, more
so, he needs a thinkerman. Banky W does this
job for him back in the day. Wizkid, you need to
control the quality of your music. You can’t
continue to release mediocre songs, you can do
better. Make your fans thirst for your music.
