Keep Calm, wizkid ain't dissing. He even tweeted about weekends starboy track saying it was dope. It was his fans that started calling him real star boy.

On the 21st day of September 2016, multi award winning Canadian star Abel Makkonen Tesfaye popularly known by his stage name The Weeknd announced the name of his third studio album, Starboy. The 18 track album will be released through Republic Records. The following day he released the title track “Starboy” which features
Daft Punk.

Nigerians on hearing about the song wasted no time to bash The Weeknd and his idea of titling his new single Starboy, a phrase they claimed he stole from their very own, Wizkid. You can’t imagine all the crap Nigerians wrote on social media platforms. Imagine Nigerians quipping of The Weeknd wanting to be Wizkid. How absurd!!!

Nigerians would never stop amazing me.

Of a truth, Wizkid may have adopted the phrase
Starboy for himself and his label but that doesn’t mean he has exclusive rights to the use of the Starboy phrase. By the way he wasn’t even originally responsible for coining the phrase Star-boy. In other words he picked up that phrase from somewhere.

I looked up the word Starboy in an online dictionary and here’s what I got;

1: a womanizer, a philanderer, a man who has sex with many women.

2: a very successful male individual, one who dwells in the heights, far above his contemporaries.

From the look of things any male figure who falls under any of the above categories is free to call himself a Starboy.

After checking out lyrics to the The Weeknd’s latest single Starboy, it dawned on me as to the basis for him titling his latest single and forthcoming album Starboy. I mean, going by the definition of Starboy who wouldn’t justify the claims put forward by The Weeknd. The song basically was a bragging rights piece about his achievements this year alone. 2016 has indeed been a good year for The Weeknd. Garnering 2 Grammy Awards out of his seven Grammy nominations at this year’s 58th Grammy Awards ceremony and making music history at the Billboard Music Awards ceremony held this same year where he went home with 8 Billboard Music Awards.

It’s just a shame Wizkid on hearing about the Album and song title took it personal, subscribed to the typical Nigerian mentality and labelled The Weeknd a thief and a fraudster as though he had monopoly over the Starboy phrase, a word he neither invented nor coined. Though before the evening of that same day he deleted the Tweet, some sage must have talked sense into his head.

Yes Wizkid may have had his name on the Billboard hot 100 chart as one of the contributing artists on Drake’s worldwide hit One Dance but that neither makes him a Global music star nor a bigger player in the music industry than The Weeknd. And if we are to go by a global audience casting votes as to which of the both artistes is a Starboy am certain 90℅ of the votes cast would affirm The Weeknd as being more eligible of the title Starboy.

Speaking of achievements what has
Wizkid gotten for himself apart from being featured on Drake’s smash hit and maybe securing a Sony Music Worldwide Deal? By the way, till date there are still Nigerians who think Wizkid’s part on Drake’s joint was recorded over phone.lol. Even from an angle of net worth Wizkid still pales in comparison to The Weeknd.

I would say our Nigerian music artists rid themselves of neo-schizophrenic delusions of grandeur and stop thinking too highly of themselves when they haven’t even achieved any global high mark.

And to Nigerians who claim to be musically inclined but restrict themselves to Nigerian songs, folks who know nothing about music but can hop on social media platforms and spill anything they comes to mind I would advise that yall get a grip of yourselves. It won’t come as a shocker to me if y’all wake up tomorrow and claim that Flavour Nabania is a better singer than Anthony Hamilton. lol.

Am neither a hater of Wizkid nor a fan of The Weeknd, just an honest music critic.

i just turned your logic on you so you can see how silly it sounds

Grammy awards was created for North Americans, not for Africans. Expecting WizKid to have Grammys is silly because he's neither North American, nor does he ply his trade there. So, judging how good he is with an award he's not normally eligible for, is daft.


You should learn to think of your words before you write them, read them again, before you post them, lest you sound silly eventually

And who told you Grammys was created for just North Americans alone in? Is Angelique Kidjo who happens to be the recipient of 3 Grammys a North American ? Or Femi Kuti who's been nominated 3 times, is he also a North American?

At this point I'll be redirecting ur words back to you

Grammys is an American award. Present to me a list of the nominees then.
Do they nominate African music genres like juju and highlife? Do you see African artistes as nomineees in similar categories as Americans?

They have ONE separate category for an entire continent, the only reason Angelique has 3Grammys is because she's in the same category as Femi Kuti and Keita, how come nobody like Beyonce is in the ONE category she always wins? No Taylor Swift, no India Arie, no Erykah Badu? So, my brother, it is as much an American award as the VMAs is one. The fact that they have One category of over 40 for an entire continent, should tell you, it is not World Music Awards. Now, you'll tell me the European Music Awards is not an European award because Tu Face has an EMA.

The Grammy is for North Americans, if they want to go far, Europe. But they certainly didn't have Africans in mind when they began the awards.

Same way BET is for Black Americans.

Another product of failed education system waiting for the West to throw you a bone.
