Nigerian music superstar Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has stirred conversations online after a video of him pouring water on members of the audience during a recent concert went viral.
The award-winning Afrobeats star headlined the CANEX 2025 Mega Concert in Algeria on September 5, 2025, and also made a surprise appearance at Vybz Kartel’s show at the O2 Arena in London on the same day.
In a video that has gone viral, the singer was seen pausing during mid-performance to splash a bottle of water on funseekers who vibed to his performance, a gesture that has left fans divided in their opinions.
While some social media users praised the act as a playful interaction and a way of connecting with the crowd, others accused the singer of engaging in spiritual practices during his performance.
Comments flooded X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, with critics questioning the intention behind the move, while loyal fans defended Wizkid, insisting it was nothing more than entertainment energy and stagecraft.
