Award-winning Nigerian filmmaker and producer, Destiny Austine Omon, has shared insights on the changes he has noticed in Afrobeat superstar Wizkid following the tragic loss of his mother.
In an exclusive interview on Onua Showbiz monitored by NewsandVibes, Omon remarked that Wizkid no longer seems like his former self, stressing how such a personal loss can have a profound impact on an artist’s emotional and creative life.
According to Omon, the passing of Wizkid’s mother appears to have triggered a significant shift in the artist’s behaviour, with many fans noticing a more reserved and introspective side to the globally celebrated musician. This transformation, Omon believes, reflects the deep emotional struggles that celebrities often endure behind the scenes, away from the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry.
Beyond discussing Wizkid’s personal changes, Omon also addressed the long-standing rivalry between Wizkid and fellow Nigerian superstar Davido. He emphasised that the tension between the two is largely a creation of their fanbases rather than a genuine feud between the artists themselves.
In his opinion, while fans are quick to pit them against each other, Wizkid and Davido would share a drink without issues if they were to meet in person.
He reassured fans that the so-called rivalry is more playful than personal and does not reflect any deep-seated animosity. His comments shed light on how public perceptions and online interactions often distort the realities of celebrity relationships.
Furthermore, Omon pointed out that the media plays a role in fuelling these rumours, often magnifying trivial issues for sensational headlines.
He urged fans to understand that, despite their fame, artists like Wizkid and Davido are human beings dealing with personal challenges that can affect their outlook and behaviour.
As the conversation surrounding Wizkid’s emotional well-being continues, Omon’s remarks have sparked widespread discussions online. Many fans have expressed support for Wizkid, praising his resilience and hoping that he finds healing in his own time. The public is also rethinking the so-called rivalry with Davido, with some calling for unity in celebrating both artists for their contributions to Nigerian and global music.
Omon’s candid take serves as a reminder that fame does not shield anyone from life’s hardships. Celebrities, like everyone else, grapple with loss, grief, and emotional changes.
