Wizkid took to his X account to respond to @Nelson Epega’s claims, asserting that Puma had initially approached him for the ambassador role, but he rejected it due to the company’s inability to meet his financial demands. He stated that he found the deal to be “cheap.”
In his tweet, Wizkid wrote, “U idiot! I turned down Puma because they could no longer afford to pay me what I wanted! I don’t need that! I’m way bigger than every artist you just mentioned! Not jealous! Love them all. With your dirty ass shirt! Idiot!
