No sign of remorse, comment is lacking in basic etiquette. And why is he lolling ?
Main reason why kids should not be allowed on social media, his stingy ass doesn't want to pay a publicist.

This was a response to someone earlier, had to repost it here to clarify my stand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's no where in my post where I said wizkid is wrong in throwing shades at BET, I said he needs to state his grievances in a more professional way, not like a 12 year old.

P.didy had an altercation with the police recently at his son's school, did he "lol" about it? No he didn't, he responded as a professional that has a reputation because he didn't see himself as an individual, but has a brand. Before Wizkid typed those tweets, he needed to ask himself, how does this help me close the next endorsement or deal, what will this add to my brand.

In business there's no room for emotions, you rather focus on how the next decision will benefit your enterprise in the long run, that's why the likes of D'Banj are closing deals almost every month, from Ciroc to Beats to United Nations.

Y would anyone segregate in this modern age? Guy, I've never cared abt your "inspiration-less" and shallow songs but for this act of self respect and in the defence of African dignity, I salute you! You will live long and continue to prosper!
They can "burst" from anger for all I care.

He is just telling you the obvious. He is not desperate. He does not want to be involved as a second class human. They can keep their awards. After all, he attended the show just to prove that he has gone past the level of "I must belong".

Has he in anytime asked them why this award isn't being handed out on prime time? Why feel marginalized? Is he not aware that not all awards in an award show are handed out LIVE? Someone hit this kid with a Bag of Rock!!..BET again isn't even worried one bit to say the least.

Arrogance at its peak...keep flying your real color jare.
u people don't even understand, should I call it racism or under estimation?they give the likes of nicki minaj and other s award in the main event but give Africans award back stage before the show begins and they even interview behind the stage,for how long must they treat us that way? If they could do this at BET,then it's a clear message Africans shouldn't dream of GRAMMY

Like someone rightly said, if 'ordinary' BET (to even think BET is for Black Entertainment makes it more sickly) can be this discriminately, what else do African artistes expect from Grammy.

It's time for African performers to start boycotting this bullshit of an award.

I like Wizkid for saying the truth and dis is the same reason Yemi Alade & Fuse ODG did not attend and they made it known to BET as well.

Now for all u ignorant Nairalanders attacking Wizkid for dis tweet, lemme tell u guys what u don't know. I dont see why BET should be discriminating against African Artistes in an award show like dis, shebi na black people we be?.

The gate keepers of the American music knows dat if they give African artistes a chance, they might steal their market in America. That's why they treat African artistes like second class citizens or pretend dat they don't know dat we got a vibrant music industry in Africa. African artistes need to wake up!! Come on, we don't need validation from the West to know dat we are good!!! Africa is a continent of over 800 million people!!! Who needs America They can keep their yeye backstage award. An award show dat most American A-List artiste did not even attend sef. 50 Cent was even blasting dem on an instagram video. Lets forget about dem. The BEST AFRICAN ACT AWARD sef no dey do anything for the artiste career sef. Na only title. The African market is soo huge and has sooo many potential, let our artistes explore dem, see how PSquare dem are breaking ground in North Africa.

I have soo many things to say about the American music industry and African American themselves. To start with, these Black Americans have a condescending attitude towards Africans even if u were born in the states. Infact, lemme leave it here, Akatas and their wahala too much.

So i support Wizkid, Yemi Alade & Fuse ODG for not attending, we are not fools. Dat was how Grammy Awards were giving Black Hiphop acts their awards backstage back in the day and they fought against it. Now they are coming to do it to their fellow Blacks too?? Cos we are Africans To hell with Dem!!! I support you Wizkid!!!

Thatz Sacarsm...

He's trying to be honest with himself I guess, if the organisers are going to be treating artistes residing in Africa like second-rate then why shoudn't the berated not respect themselves?

Am with you on this.
