Wizkid Speaks With an Accent in New Interview and Naija Twitter Goes Berserk (VIDEO)

Wizkid now wields an accent many Nigerian radio presenters will die for, and this has triggered a major conversation on social media.

Yesterday, a new video of the ‘Come Closer’ singer’s interview with UK’s Channel 4 emerged, in the interview he talked about his sound, music videos and the components he brings into every production to make them stand out. He is intent on changing the global perception of Nigerian music.

“There is so much beautiful things in Africa – Africa is so beautiful, and that’s what I’m trying to do with my music now,” said the highly successful singer, adding that he includes his cultural heritage in his videos, including “African princes.”

“I’m making sure I have my stuff tailored. I’m always strategic with it so that the world can see it in a great light,” Wizkid adds.

Wow he is really good, I mean normally you know it when someone is faking an accent but this is really good. He only has mini slight Nigerian accent in it shocked


BUT DUDE THIS IS NOT COOL


I do understand that he wants his music to be known worldwide BUT you can also do that by being proud of you are! Why faking it?!

First he dyed his haur blonde, then faked his accredited to. Next will be blue eyes and bleached skin lipsrsealed
I don't think he's faking anything . Dyeing the hair is perhaps the latest "it" for naija celebs check out Olamide, wande coal and all... Dem niggas in the streets proudly imitating too down to the creeks in Ilorin... Mark my words, Wizzy wont change nothing else bout his physiology save getting more inks anyways...

Wouldnt call it British accent, fusion of naija phonetics with American and some British. Its very clear and easy to follow. Shows he's really smart, to have adapted this way.

Anyway he was never bad with English before. If it were Olajumoke the exbreadseller, I woulda been really impressed.

I think the accent is fake. There's no way it can't be. It's extremely difficult, almost impossible for teenagers to not have the accent of the language they grew up with.

The fact that he even learned how to make the American accent sound so real! Lol I'm surprised but you know, I just don't think it's necessary.


Oh boy if I had the Nigerian accent grin . I will be rocking it up and down. It sounds like music!

How is it rubbish?
What is a Nigeria accent?
What is the nigerian language?
The guy just spoke in English without adding yoruba, ibo or hausa accent.
You need to hear tafawa balewa speak.
Nigerians are meant to speak in English but in village accent?

YOU CAN NEVER BE THEM! Be proud of who you are! That's the only why you can be the best. Who else can be better than you if you are being yourself
You have no point.

Because you use a mobile phone from China, means you want to be like the Chinese abi?

When will we stop this pointless criticism?
