Nigerian music star Wizkid is back in the spotlight after tweets he made in 2010 resurfaced and ignited fresh conversations across social media. The old posts showed an exchange where Wizkid, then about 19, expressed interest in a girl who was later identified to be 14 at the time. The resurfaced screenshots quickly spread across X, drawing attention to the early days of his online activity before he became one of Africa’s biggest global acts.
As soon as the posts started trending, Wizkid moved fast. The tweets were deleted from his timeline, prompting even more reactions as fans compared the cleanup to similar moments where old celebrity posts resurfaced years later. Despite the quick deletion, screenshots of the messages continued to circulate, keeping the conversation alive and pushing Wizkid’s name into major trends throughout the day.
The situation drew mixed reactions. Some fans defended him, noting that the exchange happened more than a decade ago when social media was still new to many young artists and online behaviour lacked today’s refinement. Others argued that the content of the messages was troubling regardless of the year, sparking debates about accountability, age, and how much weight should be placed on long-deleted posts.
The conversation deepened when an old remark from Banky W resurfaced alongside the tweets, adding another layer to the discussion. Social media users dissected the context, connecting it to the current buzz and comparing it to the larger pattern of archived celebrity tweets returning to the spotlight.
Through it all, the resurfaced posts have once again shown how quickly old content can travel in today’s digital climate and how fast reactions can build once screenshots begin to circulate.
