Social media is a powerful tool, but it never forgets. Wizkid is currently trending after old tweets from 2010 resurfaced, showing the singer talking about a 14-year-old girl in a way many fans now consider uncomfortable. The posts have sparked conversations, warnings, and questions about what really took place.
What Exactly Did Wizkid Say in the Old Tweets?
The resurfaced tweets include statements where Wizkid described a 14-year-old girl as “cute” and hinted that the age didn’t matter to him. Multiple reports show he mentioned the girl looking older and even joked about ignoring the age. These posts were made around 2010, when he was still a rising act.
After the tweets went viral again this year, Wizkid removed them from his account. The screenshots, however, keep circulating online.
Was Wizkid Under Investigation?
There is no confirmed report of a legal or police investigation tied to those old tweets at the moment. The ongoing discussion is mostly happening on social platforms, blogs, and entertainment pages. People are debating whether the tweets should lead to consequences or be treated as mistakes from his early fame years.

Did Banky W Really Warn Him About “R. Kelly Money”?
Yes, there is an old comment from Banky W joking about the matter. Reports show that Banky W once wrote that the label “didn’t have R. Kelly money” to get Wizkid out of trouble. The comment resurfaced along with the tweets and added more fuel to the conversation.
Why Are These Tweets Trending Again?
Fans say they only discovered the screenshots recently, and the timing has pushed the posts into fresh conversations. Some are disappointed, others say the tweets were made when Wizkid was young, and a few believe public figures must be more cautious because fame magnifies every action.
Could Old Social Media Posts Affect A Celebrity’s Career?
Yes, they can. Fans, brands, and the general public often revisit old posts to judge a star’s character. When a celebrity makes statements that involve minors, the backlash is usually stronger and lasts longer. Even tweets made over a decade ago can reappear and cause issues.
What Are Fans Saying About the Situation?
Reactions are mixed. Some people describe the tweets as disturbing. Others argue that the posts should be viewed through the lens of Wizkid’s age at the time. A portion of the fanbase is demanding accountability, while another group feels this is unnecessary drama.
Will This Affect Wizkid’s Reputation Long Term?
Public memory works in waves. Some controversies disappear after a few weeks, while others linger for years. It depends on how fans, media, and the artist handle the matter going forward. For now, people are simply discussing the resurfaced screenshots and what they mean.
