Nigerians react after Wizkid sat on a plastic chair at Ilorin concert (video)

Nigerian singer, Wizkid, was at the capital city of Kwara state, Ilorin, on Christmas day to perform for his fans and things took a really interesting turn and Nigerians are having a field day about it on social media.

The singer thrilled his fans with some of his hit tracks and they sang along. However, one excited fan climbed the stage to give his hero a hug and before bodyguards could throw him away, Wizkid was heard saying ‘file, je ko hug mi, ofe ni hug’ meaning ‘leave him, let him hug me, a hug is free.’

Things went south after that moment. It appeared many fans took a cue from Wizkid’s statement to also jump on the stage to give the one and only Star Boy their own hug.

The bodyguards rose into action and started throwing people off the stage like bags of rice and even added bits of slaps to spice things up.

Then sometime during the show, perhaps as the night advanced, Wizkid was spotted sitting on a plastic chair, obviously exhausted.

The singer also posted a photo of his Nike sneakers in a very sorry state after what must have been an unforgettable night.

See some funny social media reactions and videos as well as photos from the much talked about Ilorin event below:

@_starbiola: Wizkid is a star, some of them haven’t been privileged to see wizkid, no one is taking about the love they showed wizzy, they rather focus their attention on some petty things that he sat on plastic chair yen yen yen and so fucking what. Better things are left unsaid.
