Thanks to an Instagram photo, Ayodeji ‘Wizkid’ Balogun has finally confirmed the story that he’s the proud father of a two year boy named Boluwatife.
On August 21, 2011, Nigerian Entertainment Today published an exclusive report that Wizkid has fathered a baby with an undergraduate named Oluwanishola Ogudugu, Wizkid denied the report. Days before, in an exclusive interview conducted in his Ogudu GRA home, Wizkid had laughed off the question, responding ‘It sounds funny. Look at it ‘Wizkid has a kid’. Doesn’t that sound funny itself?‘
His label and management remained more
than silent on the issue and for years Wizkid and his team avoided
questions concerning the ‘rumours’. In an interview with The Punch in
December 2012, Wizkid blatantly denied the baby-story.
‘It was rumoured that I had a love
child. Even if I had a child, I don’t think it is something I should be
ashamed of. Instead, I would come out plainly and declare that I am a
father. Everybody makes mistakes. But it was just a false rumour. I
don’t have a child anywhere‘, Wizkid told Nonye Ben-Nwankwo.
Should we now be concerned that Wizkid
is singing a new tune, and accepting fatherhood or just assume the once
naïve young boy has grown up to accept his responsibilities?
Speaking of responsibilities, the baby
mama in question Oluwanishola Ogudugu (fondly called Sola) unlike many
other celeb baby mamas was never thrown into the spotlight until now.
That would be because Wizzy never accepted the baby back then; making
most of his die hard fans believe she never even existed. And even when
pictures of Sola and a toddler hit the gossip blogs late last year, no
one was interested.
It must have been a hard time also for
little known Sola (who is in her mid-20s, we are told) but the young
lady soon outgrew her worries and accepted motherhood way before Wizzy
did fatherhood – Sola has constantly been posting pictures of Boluwatife
since he turned one, especially on Facebook and Instagram.
It seems Sola has moved on too, she currently works at a business solutions and market access company Structured Resource Business Limited
located on Norman Williams Ikoyi Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria. According to
her Instagram photos, Sola is in a relationship with another young man.
Wizkid is also in a relationship with another woman Tania Omotayo. Sources close to the couple say their relationship is quite strong not
minding public scrutiny. Omotayo recently revealed on Twitter that she
had known Wizkid before the singer fathered his first child. ‘We met five years ago at a friend’s house‘, Tania told someone on Twitter this October.
Boluwatife is already warming up to be a star in his own right: with over 600 followers on Instagram. Beat that!
