Wizkid has had quite a number of impersonators in his career.
The latest one is a 19-year-old female who has been impersonating the pop artiste and defrauding people of huge sums of money including students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), City News reports
Her game came to an end after swindling two people in the United Kingdom of a reported amount of over $53,000 and Wizkid got the police involved after several complaints of him collecting money and not showing up at the events.
According to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni who spoke to City News, “A lady was arrested for defrauding people on. She was posing as Wizkid. She was arrested yesterday. The lady duped two people.”
“The two victims are outside Nigeria. Members of the public should be very careful on sending money to people they met online. The lady collected money from people in the United States and they thought they were paying money to Wizkid to come and perform.”
“They did not know they were dealing with fraudsters. Nigerians should warn friends and relatives overseas to be careful in sending money to anyone, especially someone they did not know or have not seen.”
We can’t immediately confirm if this is connected to the recent show Wizkid allegedly missed in the United Kingdom.
