Speaking in a viral video, the self-acclaimed financial expert explained that upcoming musicians who feature Wizkid often remain unknown, despite the massive hype surrounding the collaboration.

His reason? Wizkid’s fame is simply “too heavy” and ends up swallowing the visibility of the less popular artist.

Geh Geh said:

“How many upcoming artists wey don feature Wizkid wey blow? People dey talk say if them feature Wizkid for song, the song no dey blow or the artist no dey blow. No be because Wizkid no get talent, but because Wizkid glory dey outshine the upcoming artists. If you feature Wizkid for song, nobody go even know say you dey the song. Na Wizkid go carry all the glory.”
