Nigerian football icon Asisat Oshoala has publicly called out superstar singer Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, accusing him of being dishonest about his promises. The incident, which unfolded on the social media platform X on December 30, 2025, has sparked widespread reactions from fans online.
Oshoala's Viral Accusation on Social Media
In her now-viral post, Asisat Oshoala did not hold back her criticism of the Morayo crooner. She suggested that Wizkid has a habit of making commitments he does not follow through with, yet maintains a confident and smiling demeanor. The footballer specifically referenced a promise Wizkid allegedly made to perform a particular activity at the same venue every year, which he has not done. While Oshoala did not specify the exact promise or location, her message was clear in its accusation of repeated letdowns.
Reacting further to the situation, Oshoala humorously but pointedly described Wizkid as a "big liar." This label quickly caught fire online, drawing the attention of thousands of users who engaged with the tweet.
Fans Echo Sentiments and Recall Past Promises
The football star's post resonated with many fans who flooded the comment section to share their own experiences and opinions. A significant number of users agreed with Oshoala, citing what they see as a pattern of behavior from the music star.
Several comments highlighted specific unfulfilled promises attributed to Wizkid. One user, @realbig_shak, pointed out the much-anticipated joint project with fellow singer Asake, noting that with only two days left in the year, it had yet to materialize. Another user, @accordin2Wil, recalled a past claim that all Lagos shows would be free, a promise that also remains unfulfilled.
The reaction was not entirely one-sided, however. Some fans came to Wizkid's defense, with user @abbycorners_ playfully warning Oshoala to be careful while dragging her idol.
A History of Called-Out Promises
This is not the first instance where Wizkid has faced public scrutiny over commitments he has made. The article references a recent situation where a public figure called the singer to inquire about a previously discussed collaboration. Wizkid's reported response was to laugh and say it would happen soon, a reaction that some fans find characteristic of his approach to such matters.
The online discourse also touched on a separate but related issue involving critic Naijashimadun. In a circulated video, Naijashimadun reacted to a snippet from Wizkid's upcoming Morayo album, suggesting that the singer should be ready to split royalties from the album with Nigerians when it is released. This opinion also garnered mixed reactions from netizens.
The exchange between a top athlete and a top musician has certainly set social media abuzz, highlighting the intense scrutiny public figures face and the expectations fans have for their promises.
