Afrobeats superstar, Wizkid, has issued a stern but heartfelt warning to his lookalike, urging him to stop impersonating him and instead focus on building his own identity. The Grammy-winning artist not only advised the young man but also reportedly gifted him ₦40 million to help him establish a better future.
During a chance meeting, Wizkid expressed his appreciation for the support but emphasized the importance of authenticity. In a statement to his lookalike, the “Essence” hitmaker said:
“I appreciate the love, but you can’t keep acting like me. Who knows, you might even be bigger than me if you were yourself. I love you, brother, but find yourself.”
The gesture, which has since gone viral, has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many praising Wizkid’s generosity and words of encouragement. Fans commended him for not only acknowledging the admiration but also taking steps to uplift the individual financially and emotionally.
This incident adds to Wizkid’s long list of charitable acts and further solidifies his reputation as an artist who values humility and authenticity.
While the identity of the lookalike remains undisclosed, sources say he was overwhelmed with gratitude and has promised to take Wizkid’s advice to heart.
