by Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has joined the growing list of celebrities to wade into the drama between Ayo Balogun Wizkid and David ‘Davido’ Adeleke.
Days after Wizkid fired shots at Davido and Mavin Records boss Don Jazzy on social media, the controversial movie star shared his two cents online.
In a video posted on his official Instagram page, Yul revealed that he knew the problem with Wizkid. Not stopping there, he also explained how the Grammy-winning singer’s mother’s demise has continued to greatly affect him.
According to Yul, Wizkid lives in a world where people would rather give you pain than love. He added that the music star would have been able to manage his grief better if he had someone who loved him beside him to guide him on the things to do.
Yul said in part:
“Many people would not understand what is happening to Wizkid but I will tell you, it’s the pain of losing his mother, Wizkid is going through the pain of losing his mother, it’s a terrible pain. You see that pain of losing a loved one is a terrible one I tell you, it’s a pain that will make you question God and question life, It’s a pain that will make you throw caution to the wind and sometimes even want to take your life, a pain that will make you keep asking yourself what’s the point of all the hustle and the achievement, sometimes even make you disrespectful and say a lot of things, a pain that will make you question your existence and make you wonder what are we doing here? What’s the point of all the hustle when someone can just drop dead at any time, believe me it’s a terrible pain, that’s what is happening to Wizkid and unfortunately we live in a world that will rather give you more pain than love. It only gets better if you have a loved one, someone who understands the pain you’re going through and will be there to help you ease the pain, be there to help you know when you’re crossing the line and tell you ‘don’t post this, don’t say this’, someone that helps you calm your nerves and the pain. It’s more difficult when you don’t have that loved one.”
Also in the video, Yul Edochie directly addressed Wizkid and advised him to take things easy. The movie star explained that the singer’s mum would want to see him thriving and doing his thing.
The actor went on to call Star Boy one of the greatest musicians in Africa and that he was a fan of him and Davido. He said:
“Big Wiz, you have fans who love you, take it easy bro, I know that pain. Your mother is in a better place, take it from me, God knows best and we can’t question Him, everybody go go there o, I know your mum will want you to keep going and doing your thing. Truth is you’re one of the greatest artistes on the continent of Africa, I’m a big fan of you Wizkid, I’m also a big fan of Davido, you guys have done great, just take it easy.”
