raging storm. Celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji had posted that award-winning pop
star, Wizkid, had been given a quit notice by his landlord! The artiste replied
and threatened that his 16-year-old cousin will ‘deal with Linda’. He also called
her unprintable names, she responded, their fans were enraged and the war went
on.
Linda was at the Lagos State Commissioner of Police’s office to lodge a formal
complaint of attempted assault. She didn’t spare any breath in explaining on
her blog why she took that action.
than 45 minutes ago, she posted that it was over—no more ‘war of words’ with
the artiste.
her post: “So, I am going to write about this Wizkid matter for the very last
time. Anything else after this will no longer concern me. So Wizkid and I met with
the Commissioner of Police today and when the Commissioner asked me what I
wanted them to do with the case…I told him that I wanted peace. And the
reason why I insisted on peace and not to drag the matter further i.e. go to
court, is because Wizkid and his lawyers have been apologizing since Friday, up
until today!
I spoke with Wizkid through his lawyer on Friday April 15th where he tendered
an apology to me and said he wasn’t a violent person, that he didn’t mean what
he said, that it was just an emotional outburst. And then he asked for
forgiveness. Please continue…
But despite forgiving him, he still had to show up at the
Police HQ to officially apologize and write an undertaken which he did today.
I see a lot of negativity has come out of this case with Wizkid – with many
folks bashing me for reporting a threat on my person. But here’s my consolation
and why I am glad this happened. I promise you, especially the ladies, Wizkid
will never threaten you with harm again. At least not in public. I believe I am
the last bus stop. He will think twice before threatening another human being
again on social media. A police file has been opened for him, and he has been
cautioned. The day he threatens another human being again with harm, then…
Having said that, I turned down taking a photo with him and the police
commissioner this afternoon. One of his people took a pic of him and the
commissioner with me in it and my people insisted they delete it. Not because I
haven’t forgiven him, I just don’t need the extra drama.
I wish Wizkid all the best and will continue to celebrate him.
God bless us all. (sic)
