Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has once again set social media abuzz after wiping his entire Instagram page amid preparations for his upcoming tour.
The Nigerian singer, whose real name is Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, has a history of social media purges, often fueling speculation among fans. This latest move has reignited discussions, with many wondering if it signals a new project, a rebranding effort, or something entirely unexpected.
Wizkid previously erased his Instagram posts in August 2019 and July 2022, both times preceding major career milestones. In 2019, his disappearance from social media coincided with a period of low activity, sparking rumors of an album rollout. Similarly, in 2022, he left only two posts—a performance video from the Wireless Festival in Birmingham and snapshots from his trip to Philadelphia—heightening anticipation for his fifth studio album, More Love, Less Ego (MLLE).
While the Grammy-winning artist has not provided an official explanation for his latest purge, fans and industry insiders speculate that it could be part of a strategic rollout for new music or an upcoming announcement.
As of now, Wizkid’s Instagram remains completely blank, leaving fans on high alert for any clues about what the Starboy has in store next. Until then, his followers are eagerly monitoring his social media for the next big reveal.
