Why Drake Was Absent In "Come Close" Video - Wizkid Reveals by mezynaija(m): 5:09pm On Apr 07, 2017
According to PulseNG reports that Wizkid has responded and revealed the reason why Drake was absent in his recently released video – Come Closer which features Canadian artiste, Drake.

Recall, In 2016, the singer was absent during Drake’s video shoot for ‘One Dance’, and failed to make the final cut. And according to some section of fans, it was payback time.

Wizkid has responded. Replying a fan, he said: “Had a family emergency during ‘One Dance’ video shoot, and Drake was on tour when we did ‘Come Closer’. No bad blood, one love still” He tweeted.

The tweet was quickly deleted, but not before Pulse got this screen shot of it.

“Came into the game, no one replace me/Mi love mine and she straight with no chaser/I love my guys, know mi all about mi paper/Mi got mi girls all around me, mi no chaser, yah/Starboy, call me number one/When mi tune drop, the girls, they bounce along/Mi no like nothing come between me and mi paper/So when mi come inna di place, mi undertaker,” he rhymes.

Drake’s absence was clearly obvious as his verse had no one to mime it., except Wizkid, who handled it admirably. “Too mix up in drama to go outside/Too mix up in drama to free my mind/Jealous people around me, I need to change my life/I just turn colder every time I try/What would I do without you, my chargi?/I don’t feel that way with anybody/Tell me your secrets, I’m not messy/Steady it for me, girl, hold steady,” Drakes spits.

Drake has a history of not showing up in videos. He did it to Future with “Tony Montana,” Migos with “Versace,” and Fetty Wap with the “My Way” remix. He hopped on all those songs and refused to show up to shoot the respective videos. Wizkid is just the latest.

Wizkid is signed to RCA Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment. He is expected to drop his third studio album this year.

he is just trying to cover for him to save face.

anyone who already watched the video will notice

how wizkid was looking like a fool doing the one

dance drake step when it got to drake part of the song..wizkid did not deserve that..

some of you are going to say wizkid doesn't need

drake that he can do it alone..but we all know this song would have been bigger if drake made an appearance in the video.international media house won't play this on public tv because it doesn't have a drake appearance in the video and they hardly know who wizkid is..this was a once in a life time opportunity for wizkid to go really big..this will only be played in africa.the only American tv that i feel this will be played on is BET tv because i know it a black channel
that support black artists.


we all know how big p square song..onyinye with rick ross got big after p square featured him and shot one of the nicest music video in Nigeria entertainment music industry.

some of you are making arguement saying that wizkid did not make an appearance in one dance video..(which am yet to see by the way) wizkid verse on one dance was more like a back up..which is okay for him not to make an appearance..not to mention the fact that he was bearly audible with his verse.

we are still yet to see a picture of drake and wizkid together..it like drake verse for this song was email to him.

i see no reason why wizkid couldn't wait for drake to be done with his tour so they could shoot a proper video together..this is a hit track for christ sake..they just had to mess things up.

No need giving excuses for Drake. He's known for doing this. He did the same to Migos, Fetty WAP and another artist.
