A viral video has set social media abuzz after an elderly man publicly claimed to be the biological father of Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, Wizkid.
The surprising revelation happened during a Sunday service at the Revelation of God Fire Ministry. While ministering, the church’s preacher stated that he had received a divine vision about the old man in attendance, claiming the man was surrounded by influential and wealthy individuals.
Seizing the moment, the elderly man boldly confirmed the prophecy with a statement that left the congregation stunned.“Wizkid na my son, na Balogun marry hin mama. Look me well, I am the father of Wizkid,” he declared confidently.

The man, referring to Wizkid by his real name, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, stood his ground, insisting that he fathered the globally acclaimed singer. His proclamation sparked murmurs and visible surprise among the church members.
The video, which quickly made the rounds on social media, drew mixed reactions. While some online users dismissed the claim as outrageous and likely staged for attention, others speculated about the man’s mental state or possible hidden truths in Wizkid’s family background.
Critics also questioned the role of the preacher, accusing him of using the claim as a publicity stunt to promote his ministry. Despite the online backlash, the elderly man’s demeanor in the video appeared calm and assertive, fueling more curiosity than clarity.
As of now, neither Wizkid nor his representatives have responded to the man’s allegations. The identity and background of the elderly man remain unknown, leaving many to wonder if there’s any truth behind the viral moment—or if it’s just another bizarre episode in the ever-dramatic world of social media.
