How Wizkid-linda Ikeji Rivalry Played Out At The MAMA by ZenaSTORY(f): 6:48am On Oct 30, 2016
Earlier in the year, star singer Wizkid and popular blogger, Linda Ikeji, literally set the online space on fire when they went for each other’s jugulars after Linda published a story about Wizkid’s alleged second baby mama, Guinean-born Binta Diamond Diallo.



Wizkid, who was incensed at Linda’s audacity for reporting the
story which he wanted to keep under wraps, came for her with
guns blazing.

He was also ‘mad’ at her because she had published
other unpalatable stories about him, like when he was allegedly
given a quit notice on the Lekki house he initially claimed he
bought.


Among the invectives he poured at her, Wizkid stated that he has
achieved far more than Linda ever did at the age of 25.

He also
told her that she is ‘just a blogger,’ and all the money she has
wouldn’t change that.

He also ‘cursed’ her that she would remain
married to her laptop for life.
At the height of the social media war, Linda also replied Wizkid,
calling him a child, and claiming that she had never met him, and
bore no grudges against him.

She eventually reported him to the
police authorities for threatening her life, and the police
commissioner then got involved and urged them to live in peace
afterwards.



Based on the history between the two achievers, many found it
interesting that they were both nominated for the Personality of
the Year at the 2016 MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA).

They were
nominated alongside Caster Semenya, Pearl Thusi, and Pierre
Emerick Aubameyang.

It was indeed an epic battl between the personalities involved, as
they all had legions of fans rooting for them.


However, both Wizkid and Linda lost out, as athlete, Caster
Semenya walked away with the trophy.

Beyond the personality award though, Wizkid emerged the man
of the night as he picked three other awards: Best Male, Best
Collaboration (which he won alongside South Africa’s DJ
Maphorisa and DJ Buckz), and Artiste of the Year.


Wizkid’s achievements on the night, coupled with the giant
international strides he has recorded this year, has led many to
conclude that the 26-year-old ‘Baba Nla’ singer did know what he
was saying when he declared himself a bigger achiever than
Linda.


But will this put paid to the silent rivalry between the singer
and blogger? Only time will tell.
