Reports making the rounds claim that music star,
Wizkid was arrested in Nairobi, Kenya over the
weekend, for smoking ‘weed’.
A Kenyan publication, the Standard Digital News,
which spearheaded the news claimed Wizkid who
was visiting to shoot a video and also perform at
a concert, was arrested at Nairobi Crown Plaza, a
non-smoking hotel, where he was lodged.
“He was arrested when he was about checking
out of the hotel after it was discovered he had
smoked an illegal substance- weed. The hotel
manager questioned him about the illegal act,
which made them have a hot argument, before
the hotel security men called in the police. On
their arrival at the scene, the police arrested
Wizkid with handcuffs and led him to the Capital
Hill Police Station. Even though he had paid the
Sh50, 000 fine the hotel charges for breaking their
rules, he was still taken away, before he finally
sorted himself out. Wizkid was due to leave for
Lagos at around 3pm and was forced to cancel
the flight due to the drama” the online news
portal reported.
Reacting to the report however, Wizkid via his
manager Seun Jonathan in a telephon conversation said “Nothing of such
happened. It is all rumour, rumors keep churning
out everyday, it didn’t happen. ”
Also, a source who was privileged to be on the
alleged cancelled flight with Wizkid said “I
was on that same flight with him, he didn’t
cancel any flight, it was only delayed. He was on
that flight which left Nairobi at about 4pm.“
Commenting on the success of his show in
Kenya, the super star tweeted “ Was out last

Dj’s steady supporting me and my Team..God
bless y’all abundantly….2 sick shows last night!!!
