Nigerian singer Oluwafemi Oladapo, widely recognized as Slimcase, has candidly discussed his relationship with Grammy-winning artist Wizkid, also known as Ayodeji Balogun. Slimcase revealed that their relationship has changed over time, attributing this shift to Wizkid’s elevated status.
Slimcase clarified that although their closeness has diminished, it was not due to Wizkid intentionally cutting him off. He acknowledged that the alteration in their relationship dynamic was a result of his own inability to keep pace with Wizkid’s musical growth.
During an Instagram live session with his fans, Slimcase elaborated on his perspective:
“I knew Wizkid when he was Wizkid, but I’m not as close to him now that he is ‘Big Wiz.’ He has ascended to greater heights, and I wasn’t able to keep up, so I fell behind. He didn’t deliberately distance himself from me.”
Slimcase’s remarks underline the natural evolution of relationships within the music industry, particularly when artists experience varying degrees of success and visibility.
