Popular singer, Wizkid, has explained why US rapper Drake was absent during the shooting of his “Come Closer” video. Wizkid explains why Drake didn’t show up for Come Closer video.
Wizkid had released the visual for his collaboration with the US rapper on the ‘Come Closer’ music video.
Drake’s absence was clearly obvious as his verse had no one to mime it except Wizkid who handled it admirably.
“Too mix up in drama to go outside… to free my mind.
“Jealous people around me, I need to change my life.
“I just turn colder every time I try, what would I do without you, my chargi?
“Don’t feel that way with anybody, tell me your secrets, I’m not messy, steady it for me, girl, hold steady.”
The video was directed by Dapo ‘DAPS’ Fabenle, and Drake was conspicuously absent.
Recall that in 2016, Wizkid was absent during Drake’s video shoot for ‘One Dance’ and he failed to make the final cut.
According to some section of fans, it was payback time.
Notwithstanding, Drake has a history of not showing up in videos.
This is obviously not the first time, only that Wizkid’s the latest.
He did it to Future with “Tony Montana,” Migos with “Versace,” and Fetty Wap with the “My Way” remix.
He hopped on all those songs and refused to show up to shoot the respective videos.
Wizkid is signed to RCA Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment.
Following the development, trust Nigerians with no chill pill.
They already flooded Drake’s Instagram page to troll him before Wizkid reacted.
Wizkid, who is expected to drop his third studio album this year, has since deleted the tweet.
Too bad for him though, some guys were faster than him to screen grab first.
In his response, Wizkid gave reasons why Drake was absent and Nigerians don’t seem to dig it. Lol.
Wizkid responded to a fan who wanted to know.
He wrote: “Had a family emergency during ‘One Dance’ video shoot, and Drake was on tour when we did ‘Come Closer’.
“No bad blood, one love still,” Wizkid tweeted.
Some reactions on Twitter though. See below:
