Wizkid owed all his musical success to a Nigerian Singer Banky W who brought him into Fame and success. Banky W helped wizkid so much and made sure wizkids songs were everywhere. .

Wizkid is also known for allegedly being too arrogant according to multiple reports.

Wizkid started as an Afrobeat artist but when he started mingling with foreign artist, he changed his music genre to afrofusion which is commonly regarded as "afro confusion". Sadly, wizkid has forgotten his root, Afrobeat. 

 In 2009, Wizkid signed a record deal with Banky W's Empire Mates Entertainment (E.M.E). He rose to the stardom after releasing "Holla at Your Boy", the lead single from his debut studio album, Superstar (2011), which also spawned the singles "Tease Me/Bad Guys" and "Don't Dull" while on Banky's record label. Wizkid also went on tour and performed in foreign countries including United States and United kingdoms, all thanks to Banky W who mentored, supported and signed him. Sadly, wizkid had forgotten all that Banky W did for him since he left Banky's record label, EME and started his own record label. For all the years that wizkid had his own record label, wizkid does not have any single protege that became successful from under his label. 

Wizkid is also an alleged woman beater according to Jada Pollock who is his child's mother and manager. Jada claimed that Wizkid hit and put his hands on her for years.
