Wizkid Defends Father's Choice to Live in Old Neighbourhood

A post from 2024 by Wizkid has gained attention following a video filmed on October 23, 2026, showing his father, Alhaji Muniru Olatunji Balogun, attending Jumu'ah prayers in their former neighbourhood. The video sparked controversy on social media, with critics questioning why a wealthy son like Wizkid has not moved his father to a more comfortable area, interpreting the situation as neglect.

In contrast, Wizkid's supporters argued that his father's presence in the community reflects humility and a connection to his roots, highlighting his interactions with local residents. They compared this situation to other wealthy families who maintain ties to traditional neighbourhoods.

Wizkid's earlier post clarified that his father's visits are a personal choice, emphasizing that his father is not neglected but chooses to remain connected to the community.
