Afrobeats superstar Ayo Balogun, widely known as Wizkid, has captured headlines with his recent acquisition of two luxurious mansions in Ikoyi, Lagos.
Each property is said to have cost an astonishing N1.2 billion, bringing the total to an impressive N2.4 billion. The stunning homes, boasting elegant designs and opulent interiors, have left fans and social media users in awe. Images of the properties shared online have garnered widespread admiration, with many commending Wizkid’s extraordinary success.
However, the news sparked mixed reactions. A Davido fan, using the handle @DavidoPolice on X (formerly Twitter), dismissed the purchase with a sarcastic remark: “The God who did it for Wizkid should avoid me.”
This comment caught the attention of Ola of Lagos, a well-known real estate promoter, who defended the mansions’ value. Ola criticized the unnecessary pressure fans place on celebrities and called for a more balanced and appreciative outlook.
“Some people just come online to talk anyhow without thinking that these celebrities are humans too.” Ola of Lagos wrote.
