In the now-famous video, Bukola is seen balancing a tray of pepper on his head as he explains that Wizkid’s music inspires him every day and gives him the strength to keep pushing.

He emphasised how important the singer is to him, revealing that his love for Wizkid is so intense that people no longer call him by his real name; they simply call him “Wizkid.”

The young pepper seller also offered prayers for the star, wishing Wizkid and his baby, Champz, long life and protection from untimely death.

Addressing common criticisms against the singer, Bukola said that although some people describe Wizkid as proud, he believes the artist is simply being himself and avoiding unnecessary drama.

Bukola then went on to sing Wizkid’s hit song “Money Constant,” confidently delivering the lyrics word for word.

In response to the viral clip, Wizkid promised to meet the boy in December and has begun searching for him through his official DJ, DJ Tunez.

“THIS DECEMBER YOU GO SEE BIG WIZ! 🤣❤️🎅🏿 OGBAFIA & SONS FIND THIS BOY FOR ME! ASAPPPPP!!!!!” He added, “OPE O! 🖤🇳🇬 SEE YOU SOON!."
