Well, forget the excuse MTN gave. They just had to let superstar Wizkid go because the deal their competitior, Glo, was offering him was way higher.
According to blogger Linda Ikeji, Wizkid actually moved to Glo 4 weeks ago after complaining that MTN was delaying payment and mostly because Glo offered him more to be their ambassador. He signed a two-year deal with Glo said to be worth over N100 million.
The likes of comedian Bovi, AY, Yoruba actor Odunlade Adekola and actor OC Ukeje have also joined Glo.
Well, Wizkid has has shed light on the circumstances surrounding his new endorsement deal with Nigeria’s telecommunications giant, Globacom.
In a statement in Lagos by his manager, Mr. Sunday Are, 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.
“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,” he said.
He added that “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. God bless.”
