UK-based DJ alleges Wizkid slapped him at London event

DJ Magic Jay, a Jamaican disk jockey based in the United Kingdom, has come forward to claim that Nigerian superstar singer, Wizkid, allegedly slapped him during an event in London back in 2018.

In a recent interview on Ruggedman TV, hosted by renowned Nigerian rapper Ruggedy Baba, DJ Magic Jay shared his experience and expressed his love for Nigerian afrobeats music. According to him, the incident occurred at YCee’s concert held at the 02 Academy in Islington, London.

The Jamaican DJ explained that he approached Wizkid to greet him, but the singer dismissively slapped his hand away. The unexpected reaction left DJ Magic Jay shocked and bewildered.

“YCee’s concert, I was in Islington at the 02, I walked in, I went to greet him [Wizkid], I said, ‘Hi, how are you doing, Wizkid? My name is Cool Magic Jay; I’m a Jamaican guy who loves afrobeats’. I went to shake his hand, and he slapped my hand away.” He said.

DJ Magic Jay said he would love to interview Wizkid to understand why he acted that way.

“I wanna interview Wizkid. He probably won’t remember what happened but I will like interview him just to ask him questions like do you like it or hate it when you get approached by fans or people in the industry too much…That could be one of those moments he was like ah leave me alone, I just want to enjoy the show”, he added.
