A video currently making rounds online captures the dramatic moment an elderly Nigerian man boldly declared that Grammy-winning artist Wizkid is his biological son. The claim, made during a Sunday service at the Revelation of God Fire Ministry, has sparked intense debate and social media buzz, with many questioning the man’s credibility.
During the service, the presiding preacher reportedly received a “divine revelation” about the elderly man’s connection to prominent figures. In response, the man affirmed the spiritual message by announcing to the congregation: “Wizkid na my son, na Balogun marry hin mama. Look me well, I am the father of Wizkid.”
The unexpected revelation left many churchgoers visibly stunned, and the video has since gone viral across several platforms. While some users mocked the situation as an attention-seeking stunt, others noted that the man shares a resemblance with the musician, whose full name is Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun.
Critics have accused the preacher of staging the entire episode for publicity. However, the clip has also stirred curiosity, with viewers speculating on the possibility that the man might be telling the truth, though no verifiable proof has been provided.
