An elderly man has caused a stir on social media after publicly claiming to be the biological father of Grammy award-winning Nigerian artist, Wizkid.
The surprising revelation occurred during a Sunday service at the Revelation of God Fire Ministry.
While ministering, the church’s preacher said he had received a divine vision indicating that the elderly man was surrounded by affluent individuals.
In response, the man stood up and boldly declared that Wizkid—whose real name is Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun—is his son.
“Wizkid is my son. It was Balogun who married his mother. Look closely at me—I am Wizkid’s father,” he said, drawing gasps and murmurs from the congregation.
A video capturing the moment quickly went viral, igniting widespread reactions online.
While some viewers expressed curiosity, many dismissed the claim as unfounded, with others speculating that the entire episode may have been staged for publicity.
