A video capturing a highly unusual testimony inside a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) service has ignited a social media storm, with the congregation member expressing profound gratitude to God for the musical success of Afrobeats superstar, Wizkid.
From Near-Death Experience to Celebrating Wizkid
The clip, which surfaced online on January 20, 2026, initially followed a familiar pattern. A young male worshipper stood before the congregation to share a testimony of divine protection, thanking God for saving his life from a severe road accident. This heartfelt moment was met with supportive applause and prayers from fellow church members.
However, the narrative took a sharp and unexpected turn. The man seamlessly shifted his focus from his personal survival to the career of Nigerian music icon, Wizkid. With evident sincerity, he praised God for the singer's latest musical release in 2026, noting that the track was rapidly ascending the music charts.
"I want to thank God that Wizkid has released a song in 2026 and it is now number one. God will bless Wizkid and his family," he declared in the video. His statement elicited a mix of smiles, laughter, and surprise from those present in the church.
Mixed Reactions Flood Social Media
The viral video quickly became a major talking point across various social media platforms, particularly on Instagram where it was widely shared. Netizens expressed a spectrum of reactions, ranging from amusement and disbelief to criticism of the testimony's relevance in a worship setting.
Some users humorously questioned the fan's dedication, with one comment reading, "Nobody kolo reach Wizkid fc??" Another user pointed out, "Wizkid no go even see am...Davido will never let this slide, you're definitely getting noticed by him."
Others were less forgiving, directly criticizing the church's leadership for allowing such a testimony. One user stated, "Can’t even blame him but the church that allowed this rubbish," while another philosophically noted, "There’s no monopoly on madness. Once you excuse one, you’ve opened the door to all of it."
Context: Wizkid's Recent Headlines
This incident adds to a series of recent news stories involving the "Essence" crooner. Legit.ng had previously reported on an incident where Wizkid's bodyguard recounted the singer's nonchalant reaction to losing a luxury ring valued between $40,000 and $60,000 during a trip to Germany.
According to the bodyguard, Wizkid calmly dismissed the idea of searching for the expensive jewelry, stating he was tired and wanted to go home. He reportedly told his team that whoever found the ring should keep it, adding that God would bless the finder.
In a separate but equally buzzworthy development from January 8, 2025, Wizkid sent the internet into a frenzy after a video surfaced showing him declaring an intention to run for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This bold announcement came just hours after he celebrated becoming the first African artist to hit 10 billion streams on Spotify.
The RCCG testimony video, therefore, highlights the deep and sometimes unconventional ways in which celebrity culture intersects with everyday life and faith in Nigeria, sparking debates about fandom, worship, and what constitutes a legitimate testimony.
