Afrobeats superstar Ayo Balogun, famously known as Wizkid, has once again captured attention with his latest extravagant purchase—two stunning duplexes in the upscale Ikoyi district of Lagos.
The lavish properties, each priced at an estimated ₦1.2 billion, bring the total cost to an impressive ₦2.4 billion. Boasting breathtaking designs and luxurious interiors, the mansions have left fans and followers in awe. Photos of the properties circulating online have sparked widespread admiration and further cemented Wizkid’s status as a music and lifestyle icon.
While many celebrated the achievement, the news also ignited mixed reactions. A fan of Wizkid’s industry rival, Davido, using the handle @DavidoPolice on X (formerly Twitter), took a jab at the purchase, sarcastically remarking, “The God who did it for Wizkid should avoid me.”
The comment prompted a strong response from Ola of Lagos, a prominent real estate promoter, who defended the immense value of the properties. Ola criticized the culture of undue pressure placed on celebrities, urging fans to adopt a more supportive and balanced perspective.
Wizkid’s investment not only showcases his success but also highlights Lagos as a hotspot for luxury real estate in Nigeria’s thriving market.
