Wizkid, who was in Nairobi, Kenya to perform at a concert as well as
shoot a music video with Chocolate City act, Victoria Kimani, was
allegedly arrested and quizzed by
Kenyan police officials after he was found to have contravened the non-smoking order in his hotel on Saturday, October 25, 2014 after a performance.
According to Standard Digital’s report: ‘The incident happened at around 1pm just as the Caro singer was checking out of his hotel room where he has been staying for a week, since his last week’s concert. According to our sources,
Wizkid was caught smoking ‘w*ed’ inside the hotel in which smoking is prohibited.
The hotel’s Front Officer asked him why he was smoking before the two
got into a heated argument attracting security officers who ended up
calling the police to arrest him.’ Wizkid was alleged to have stayed at
the Nairobi Crowne Hotel and was made to cough out KSh50,000 for smoking
in the hotel, an act against the hospitality outfit’s terms and
conditions before he was whisked off to Capital Hill Police Station.
The reports claim further that it took the intervention of Chocolate City singer, Victoria Kimani, who had to come to his rescue as his manager and friend were unable to save the situation.

However, another Kenyan website, Generationy.co.ke, reports that the management of the Nairobi Crowne Hotel have refuted the allegation in its entirety, saying the pop star never stayed in the hotel at any point during his recent event to Kenya. ‘When we reached out to the hotel management to confirm the allegations, they denied saying Wizkid wasn’t even staying at Crowne Plaza.,’ Generationy.co.ke said in its report.
Also Wizkid in a chat with Ynaija said “Nothing of such happened. It is all rumour, rumors keep churning out everyday, it didn’t happen.”

I hope Wizkid has
something to say about this because this is not good for his image and
as an ambassador of Nigeria he may have let his country down...
*Most Nigerian
entertainers cannot do without 'igbo'.infact some of them only gather
the courage to face their fans and perform after heavily smoking.He is
so young and I pray he finds his bearing IJN.
