Afrobeats legend Wizkid may soon have some healthy competition — from his own son. Boluwatife Ayodeji Balogun, fondly known as Tife, has set social media buzzing after sharing a clip that appears to tease his first-ever single.
The 14-year-old, Wizkid’s eldest child with entrepreneur Shola Ogudu, posted the short video on his Instagram page on Sunday with the caption, “Champion’s Arrival videographer, DIKASTUDIOS, producer iamhosana_.” The post quickly gained traction, drawing more than 30,000 likes and over a thousand comments within hours.
In the video, Tife confidently delivers a rap performance that has left fans impressed by his lyrical flair and stage presence. He spits bold lines like, “Shoutout to the OGs in the game, but it’s time to pass on the baton,” and “I’ve got zero competition,” signaling that the teenager is ready to carve his own path in the music industry.
“This kid inherited that for real. It’s clear he got it in his veins,” one fan, @dabuthegemini, wrote, referencing Tife’s father’s musical prowess.
Social media platforms have since erupted with excitement, with many users predicting that the young Balogun might follow in his father’s footsteps. Reactions on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram have been overwhelmingly positive, with fans applauding both his confidence and natural talent.
User @mubamz gushed, “Shoutout to all the OGs in the game but it’s time to pass on the baton to Champion. Iyen Bolu na??? I’m here for it like mad!” while @knightbrolow24 jokingly hinted at potential success, saying, “If this song go do numbers pass ‘you know who,’ this app no go contain us o.”
Instagram users also joined the buzz. One commenter, @sir_richie_derrick, humorously declared, “Wizkid go born person wey go give am hard time oo. Wizkid competition just start.” Others praised Tife’s potential, with @omotoye.modupeoluwa noting, “Lion no dey born goat,” and @_wfromeo adding, “Una don die for this industry. The voice is fire.”
