Why Wizkid hates Saeon's Boogie Down

When in late 2014 beef suddenly broke out between established singer, Wizkid, and upcoming singer, Saeon, what people really wanted to know was why they were fighting. Though the apparent reason, as forwarded by Saeon was that she was at daggers drawn with Wiz because she paid him the whopping sum of N1.5m to feature him on her song, Boogie Down, and he refused to tweet the link to the song, even after she requested him to please do so. As expected, a lot of reactions trailed their beef, especially after Wiz came out to say that he doesn’t just tweet for anybody but his friends and that Saeon wasn’t his friend. Maybe because Wiz is so popular because a lot of people really do like him, he came out the better in his Saeon faceoff, with many people supporting him that he didn’t have to tweet the song, that it wasn’t part of his agreement with her that he must tweet it, and that he has every right to not tweet what he doesn’t want to. Heavyweight celebrities jumped behind Wiz and tore Saeon apart for her action which they felt was an unnecessary exposure of the industry’s trade secrets. According to MI, Saeon had no right to make known what she paid Wiz for the collabo as business is business. So, eventually, the matter died a slow death with nobody jumping behind Saeon to say that when someone pays all of N1.5m for someone else’s support on a project, the least the person who got paid could do was to just support the project all the way. But the big question has remained all this while. Why did Wiz refuse to tweet the song link? Did he do so out of fear or wickedness or something else? Entertainment analyst, Saucy Gezzle, has now come out to reveal why Wiz didn’t tweet the song. According to him, Wiz didn’t tweet the song because he wasn’t pleased with it. “Normally, when Wiz features on a song, he kills the artist who features him. His voice will be prominent on the song and it will almost seem like he’s the song’s owner. But in the case of Boogie Down, his role was limited to just the chorus, and at the end of the day, he was reduced to looking like just a backup singer, and probably feeling the impression wasn’t good for his brand, he decided not to support the song’s promo,” Gezzle explained. And despite all her hullabaloo over Wiz’s refusal to tweet it, Boogie Down remains Saeon’s most successful released song till date, because of Wiz’s presence on it, so Saeon’s N1.5m to Wiz wasn’t a waste, as she almost made it seem.
