TikToker Geh Geh Claims Wizkid Uses DJ Tunez to Test Collaborations and Protect His Brand

/

A Nigerian TikTok influencer has set social media ablaze after claiming to unveil Wizkid‘s clever strategy for staying on top of the Afrobeats game. Geh Geh, in a video that’s now making rounds on X (formerly Twitter), shared what he believes is the Grammy winner’s behind-the-scenes approach to working with trending artists. According to the influencer, Wizkid doesn’t rush into direct collaborations with buzzing new acts. Instead, he takes a calculated route through his longtime associate, DJ Tunez. “If any artist dey trend and everybody dey rush to feature am, Wizkid no go feature the artist direct. Him go reach out to DJ Tunez, and na Tunez go feature Wizkid and the trending artist together. So if the song no blow, people go talk say no be Wizkid song, na DJ Tunez song. But if e blow, the glory go return to Wizkid,” Geh Geh explained. The claim has divided opinions online. Some fans are calling it brilliant business strategy, praising Wizkid for protecting his brand while still testing the waters with emerging talent. Others think it’s reading too much into standard industry collaborations, arguing that Wizkid’s success comes down to pure talent and hard work.

Wizkid’s Sweet but Complicated Gift-Giving Strategy Goes Viral

/

Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has people talking after his DJ revealed an interesting detail about how the singer shows love to his friends. According to DJ Tunez, Wizkid’s official disc jockey, the Grammy-winning artist has been gifting luxury Rolex watches to people in his circle – but there’s a catch that’s got everyone debating online. During a conversation with content creator Peller, DJ Tunez shared that Wizkid doesn’t just buy the same watch for everyone. Instead, he carefully chooses different types of Rolex watches based on how close he feels to each person. Basically, your relationship with Wizkid determines what kind of Rolex you get. The stronger your friendship, the more expensive and exclusive your timepiece becomes. DJ Tunez explained that this is just Wizkid’s way of showing appreciation and recognizing the different levels of loyalty and connection he has with people around him. Some fans think it’s sweet that Wizkid puts so much thought into his gifts and acknowledges the unique relationships he has with different people. They see it as a personal touch that makes each gift more meaningful. Others, however, find the whole thing a bit awkward. They’re questioning whether it’s fair to give “graded” gifts that essentially rank people’s worth in your life. Some worry it might create jealousy or hurt feelings among his friends.
