Unlike many of his moves, Wizkid has offered an explanation of the motive behind porting to Glo from MTN.
If you are one of those wondering why Starboy boss, Wizkid ported from MTN to Glo, the ‘Ojuelegba’ singer has come forward with a reason for you. A statement by Wizkid’s management team led by Sunday Are has shed light on the porting drama that’s been a trending topic on social media since last week.
‘Wizkid said Globacom is a brand he had admired for a very long time considering its strong persona and its very massive impact and image in the entertainment industry in Nigeria,’ the statement begins.
In addition, Wizkid says ‘Globacom is huge in my industry and I see the evidence of the company’s commitment to improving the industry and the lives of its practitioners everywhere I turn. To be honest, it’s been a dream to have a working relationship with the Glo brand. An opportunity to turn this dream to reality came, and I took it.’
And in case you think he has no words for MTN, which many expected the high flying young man to remain, you are wrong.
‘It’s an incredible blessing to be sought after by arguably Nigeria’s two most powerful brands at the same time. My decision to go with Globacom this time is not an act of spite against MTN. I simply seized an opportunity to move from Yellow land to greener pastures,’ he said.
