Popular Nigerian singer Wizkid has reconciled with his longtime colleague, Reekado Banks, putting an end to their years-long fallout.
The two artists, who had been at odds since 2020, were recently spotted together, marking the first time they have been seen in public since their dispute. Their reunion suggests that they have moved past their differences and are on good terms once again.
Wizkid and Reekado Bank’s fallout dates back to 2020 during the height of the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria. At the time, Reekado Banks had announced the release of his single Omo Ologo, which featured Wizkid. However, Wizkid did not take kindly to the timing of the release, as the country was experiencing a period of intense social unrest.
Expressing his disapproval, Wizkid lashed out at Reekado Banks on social media, calling him a “clout animal.” He urged him to take down the post promoting the song, writing:
“Delete this dude. I can’t believe you are even doing this at a time like this. Old song! #EndSARS fool!”
Wizkid’s harsh words sparked a wave of reactions from fans, with many interpreting the comment as a sign of a deep rift between the two singers.
Years after their public fallout, Wizkid and Reekado Banks were seen together once again, signaling that their differences have been resolved. Their reconciliation took place in Lagos on Tuesday when Wizkid visited Reekado Banks’ newly opened lounge.
A viral video circulating on social media captured the moment the two artists were seen dining together at a Lagos restaurant. They were also joined by rapper Shallipopi, further adding to the celebratory atmosphere of the gathering.
The sight of Wizkid and Reekado Banks together again has sparked excitement among fans, many of whom had hoped for a reconciliation between the two stars. Social media users have taken to various platforms to express their joy, with some speculating that the duo might collaborate musically again in the near future.
While neither Wizkid nor Reekado Banks has publicly commented on their reunion, their recent meeting suggests that they have put their past differences behind them.
With this reconciliation, fans are optimistic that the duo could work together again, just as they did in the past. Both artists have enjoyed successful careers independently, but their past collaborations remain fan favorites.
As Wizkid and Reekado Banks move forward, music lovers will be eagerly watching to see whether their renewed friendship will lead to new joint projects in the Nigerian music industry.
