The singer turned politician also revealed that he was disappointed with the former EME signee for not showing up at his wedding.

In his words: “Was I disappointed that he wasn’t at the wedding? I was but I know he tried because there was a show with a lot of the artists…I think it was One Africa,” he said.”As a matter of fact Tiwa ended up…there was no business class and she took an economy seat so she could make it. But he called at the time that he was so sorry.”

Wizkid replied to his former label boss via Twitter, retweeting the interview, he said “My answer to everything is Lol and Ok. Chop life abeg.”

Reacting to Wizkid’s response, a Twitter user criticized Wizkid, saying it was very unfair for him not to attend Banky W’s wedding.

The Twitter user opined that Banky W made Wizkid who he is today, and despite all that happened in the past, he still owes him a lot.

The man added that Wizkid replying ‘LOL’ to Banky W’s Positive remark about him is rude and should act respectfully.
