Fans of WizKid Not Impressed With Ayo Album, Want A Refund their money

Fans get disappointed in a low performance of artist especially in their album release. This was not different as fans of Wizkid are not happy with his latest album, AYO. The album is not gathering much acceptance unlike the previous one and fans are torn apart in their views about it.

Wizzy drop ‘Ayo’(Joy) on iTunes on September 17, 2014 ahead of plan and this caused a rush as fans hurried to have a feel of his new release.

But the album didn’t turn out to be what they totally expected! Although the album made it to the top of iTunes album chart within hours of its release however, criticisms later flooded its wide acceptance. While some complained about the album being “stale”, others just clamoured for a “refund” of their money as it didn’t meet their taste. Let’s not forget, this is his last with EME, and fans expected it would be a resounding farewell album. But what about those songs he recorded with Rihanna and Chris Brown? Well, according to him, those songs will be among his next album released under his own record label, StarBoy in December. The new album Ayo has 19 tracks containing old tracks like ‘Jaiye jaiye’, ‘On top your matter’, ‘Show you the money’, ‘One question’ which didn’t go down well with fans who have waited for good three years for a new album.

VIDEO : Wizkid finally addresses recent beef with Davido

Wizkid

In an interview with Olisa Adibua on his new TV program called The Truth, Wizkid opened up on his recent beef with Davido. Below is what he said;

"That situation was just so funny to me because we were all on the same flight. I got back, I was really tweeting about my show. I was talking about myself. I had a show in New York before that, that was like a year ago, or two years ago, it was sold out, sound was bad, venue we used was crazy....it was f**ked up. I land for airport nah, I was going to my hotel, drove through the venue, I saw my name in lights, and I saw my venue and I was like "Wow! This is me?" Came down, took a picture , posted it - I do proper shows, proper venues. People started catching feelings"

Continue...
"Everyone should be mad at that. If that was the case, then everyone like Iyanya, everyone that has done shows in the US should say something.
"When I saw that, it was funny. It was all just play. I no get time abeg. I do proper shows. So if you get mad at that, that means, why you mad? You don't do proper shows, proper venues? Why are you mad? I wasn't talking about nobody. I was promoting my show. I feel like if I'm doing something for myself, happy about my success and you are hating at my success, I don' know what to say to you. Should I consider you as a friend or foe? I don't know"
When Olisa asked him if he would consider Davido as a friend, Wizkid said...
"Me I'm cool with everybody. I'm easy with everyone. If you don't come at me, I won't come at you. If you pray for me, I pray for you. If you swear for me, I go swear make God punish you! "
I have a 3 year old son. I have more important issues to deal with in my life. I have real life problems. I'm not into no beefs. I'm just trying to survive. Live my life!
He also said his new album will be his last with EME.

The video below... the beef talk starts from 9.20mark..

REVEALED: Wizkid Is Still Signed To E.M.E - Banky W

Wizkid

While partying with 2face in Dubai, Banky W in an exclusive interview had this to say:
"It's all bad belle people, they think there may be bad news and when you don't give them that news they start to create it because bad news sells more than good news.

First of all (go down low...lol), there was no twitter fight, people go online and use photoshop to create my profile and then they go and create Wizkid's profile and say he said this and that - even when it never happened. What happened is that we have been working on Wizzy's project to make it work internationally and when you are getting to that level, things change.

He has his own idea of what he wants to do and we are in 100% support of that and these were the things we dreamed of back in 2009 when I signed him....Wizkid is still signed to the E.M.E!!!

On Wizkid's starboy entertainment, he said "well you know that is something else he wants to do, he wants to start his record label just like I started mine then and see where I am today. You have a lot of people fabricating stuff and trying to make it feel like there is a battle and you know we don't believe in that...we are all mature and grown up people...he is absolutely and still part of the family..."

When asked "how does it work for him to have star boy entertainment and still be part of E.M.E"
he said, "I would give you a fantastic example, Kanye West has GOOD MUSIC and he is still with Rock Nation, ROCKAFELLA...I rest my case"

Wizkid to return to former music label, EME

 Wizkid with EME Crew 

If everything goes according to plan, Wizkid will soon be returning to his former music label, EME Music Group, this is according to a reliable industry source.

The source revealed to me exclusively that Wizkid and EME bosses have been going back and forth for the last couple of weeks through their lawyers trying to agree on new terms of them working together again.

 "Wizkid leaving EME was just his way of pushing the bosses at the label to take him seriously and increase his earning percentage. When he joined EME he wasn't a star but then he became a mega star and was making a lot of money for the label and they still didn't increase his earning percentage so he took a walk. Now they are working on a new contract that will favour Wizkid."

 The source said I hear in the new contract being drafted, EME will not take a dime from Wizkid's international deals. When they start working together again, remember you read it here first! :-)
