Wizkid

In an interview published recently, the singer Wizkid addressed the claims that he stole the ‘pakuromo’ song on his debut ‘Superstar’ album when the singer came to the school she was attending for a gig, She had performed a song of hers with the same chorus as heard in Wizkid’s Pakuromo, only to have it heard on the singer’s album. Excerpt of interview below:

A 300L English Language student of Adekunle Ajasin University Ado Ekiti claims that you stole her song titled Pakurumo. How true is that?

Wizkid: (Laughs) What is the name of the school again? I saw the story on the internet. I have never been there and I don’t even know the girl they are talking about. I have never been to Ado Ekiti before.

It is funny, that is why I said earlier, that they keep coming. I go to sleep and wake up in rumours everyday. Nothing like that ever happened. I am sure that somebody just sits down and cooks up that too. It is funny; I don’t even know what to say.

So how did you come about Pakurumo?

Wizkid: Pakurumo is a word that I have been hearing since I was young so I decided to make a song with the term.
We gather that the female singer is planning on releasing a video of the performance at the event where she performed the song.
