On October 2, 2024, Nigerian music icon Wizkid surprised the internet when he made a personal revelation about popular Instagram blogger Tunde Ednut, stating that Tunde was dealing with an undisclosed leg issue that wasn’t apparent online. This revelation followed Wizkid’s ongoing feud with his rival, Davido, and it sparked widespread reactions.
The comment drew attention after gossip blog FLvibe previously hinted at the situation, but Wizkid’s disclosure during the heat of the dispute caught many off guard. Social media critic Daniel Regha quickly responded on X (formerly Twitter), condemning Wizkid’s remark as disrespectful. Regha expressed concern, emphasizing that the comment didn’t just affect Tunde Ednut but also extended to people with disabilities in general. He warned Wizkid that life can change quickly, reminding him to be more considerate with his words, especially when it comes to sensitive matters like health and disability.
Regha’s response sparked a broader conversation on social media about the responsibility public figures have when discussing personal or health-related issues of others, even amid public feuds.
In his words:
“Wizkid didn’t only shade Tunde Ednut but literally mocked people who’re physically challenged. “We don’t diss disables” is the height of insensitivity. There’s a fine line between beef, & being outright disrespectful. No-one knows tomorrow, the tables can turn.”
“Wizkid is “mature” they said; This outrage is unwarranted and a sign of l¤w-self esteem. He lacks confidence in his abilities.”
