The problem started on Thursday when a user on X questioned the EP's streaming figures and accused the boy's management team of failing to establish a larger fanbase for him.
The user, @dat_deltagirl, wrote, “I don’t know who’s managing him, and I’m not a PR expert, but they’re making far too many avoidable mistakes.
“As a teenager with Wizkid as his father and those insane streaming numbers from his debut EP, you’d expect the team to lean into that momentum.This was the perfect time to create fun, relatable content with his friends, the Gen Zs, and Gen Alphas, using his sound to build his own identity.
“He had the potential to take over TikTok and every other platform when the EP dropped, but instead they pushed this ‘grown’ image, posting clips with adults instead of helping him cultivate a fanbase that actually reflects his age and vibe.
“Something is off, and his management and PR team need to fix it fast.”
The message soon gained attention, eliciting responses from fans, content creators, and music critics who questioned Champz's ambition at such a young age.
In her response, Boluwatife's mother, Oluwanishola, also known as Shola, defended her son and warned detractors against comparing him to renowned stars.
She wrote, “Big love to everyone showing support, but comparisons aren’t needed. Champz is 14, balancing academics and his passion with serious discipline. His dad is a legend, and that’s a fact, but this is Champz’s journey, his grind, and his future. NO PRESSURE!!!”
Her remark received considerable appreciation, with many people applauding her for putting her son's mental health ahead of the pressures of fame.

pinkandlillac said:
"If people really understood true artistic value and real craftsmanship, they would see that being a teenager doesn’t mean he should have cheap or watered-down talent. Look at Wizkid for example. What makes him stand out is his intentional scarcity and authenticity, not being everywhere or doing TikTok every minute. Not everything is about money. Authenticity and quality are the real essence of art. Period."
