Yul Edochie, the Nigerian actor, has offered his opinion on Wizkid‘s recent social media outburst.
Wizkid set social media ablaze on Monday after referring to Don Jazzy, head honcho of Mavin Records, as an “influencer”.
He also engaged in a heated exchange with Davido, his colleague.
In a video shared on Instagram, Edochie attributed Wizkid’s outburst to the “pain of losing his mother”.
He added that society does not provide support for those grieving.
“Many people would not understand what is happening to Wizkid. But I will tell you, it’s the pain of losing his mother,” he said.
“Wizkid is going through the pain of losing his mother. It is a terrible pain. You see that pain of losing a loved one? It is a terrible pain. It is a pain that would make you question God. It is a pain that would make you question life. It is a pain that would make you throw caution to the wind. It is a pain that would make you sometimes want to even take your life.
“It is a pain that would make you sometimes become even disrespectful and just say a lot of things. It is a pain that would even make you question your existence. You lose your mother and you lose your sanity. It is a terrible pain. And that is what is happening to Wizkid.
“Unfortunately, we live in a world that would even give you more pain than love.”
Jane Dolapo Balogun, Wizkid’s mother, passed away in August 2023.
In January, the singer revealed that he felt lost after his mum’s passing.
