Wizkid dropped the visuals to his "Come Closer" barely few days after the audio release and while the visuals is crisply clean and of international standard, some "ayters" have faulted Drake absence in the video forgetting Wizkid actually own the song.

With the whole backslashing, Wizkid in a bit to defend Drake's absence came up with "Had a family emergency when One Dance was shot and Drake was on tour when Come Closer was shot"

I may agree to the later part but the first part doesn't gel with me. Wiz is a young determined man, he has young blood flowing in him, he has worked so hard and he is still working hard. So telling us he had a family emergency is just story story.

If he wanted to be on One Dance video and truly there was an emergency, I am very sure his family would understand.

So the most anticipated video –“Come Closer“– from Nigeria’s number one music export Wizkid, featuring Canadian multi-awarded rapper/singer/song writer Drake officially dropped today.

Hollup Hollup!…Wait a minute, Uncle Drake is not in the video. Really?!!

1) These have got fans pondering. First, Wizkid was not in the official video to “One Dance” which is Drake’s biggest single so far; having set a record for most weeks atop Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Is this payback for Wizkid’s absence in One Dance video?

2) Could Drake and Wizkid be beefing??
Drake and Wizkid were in London at the same time when this video was shot but Drake didn’t show. We understand Drake was in the middle of his European tour but is that really excuse enough?

3) Was Drake throwing shades at Wizkid when he said that he believes The Weeknd is the ”real’ Starboy some weeks back?

4) Is this a battle between record label giants Sony Music and Universal Music Group which now looks like a Wizkid vs Drake situation?

5) Last year One Dance was a huge global hit. Wizkid and Sony Music maybe be trying to recreate the same formula. Plot twist- What if the Sony Music executives only signed Wizkid based on this kind of track figuring that it could be One Dance part 2 and Drake saw this calculation and didn’t want to be used?
