Rare video of Wizkid's playful moment with his kids gets fans talking: "He no wan old again?"

The clip, posted on TikTok by Young Roddo, shows boys and girls of various ages dancing, reaching towards him, and treating him like a full-blown music star.

The track that caused all the excitement centres on a charmingly innocent theme, a young boy's crush on an older girl.

Young Roddo raps about falling for a sixth-grader, describing the nerves of seeing her smile in the hallway and not knowing what to say when she speaks to him.

The lyrics capture the kind of bittersweet, wide-eyed admiration that many people remember from their own school days, and that relatability appears to be a huge part of why the song has resonated so widely beyond the school gates.

The video's final moments show a crowd of children sprinting down a residential street in pure celebration, a fitting close to what was clearly an unforgettable last day of school.

Fans and adults alike react to Young Roddo

The TikTok clip quickly gathered attention from both young viewers and grown-ups who found themselves equally charmed by the young rapper's talent.
