In a remarkable turn of events, Nigerian music titans Wizkid and Reekado Banks have mended old wounds and rekindled their camaraderie over dinner in Lagos on February 24, 2025.
Spotted dining with rapper Shallipopi, the duo’s reunion signals a fresh start in their once-turbulent relationship.
Their fallout, which originated during the heated #EndSARS protests of 2020—when Wizkid publicly rebuked Reekado Banks for his role in promoting their collaborative track “Omo Olomo”—seems to be a chapter firmly closed. Wizkid’s previous harsh words, which branded Banks as a “fool” for his perceived insensitivity during a national crisis, have now given way to a spirit of reconciliation.
Adding another layer to this newfound alliance, Wizkid recently made an appearance at the launch of Reekado Banks’ latest venture, Above Lifestyle Lounge, in Lagos. This public show of support, paired with their intimate dinner, suggests that both artists are eager to put past misunderstandings behind them.
Fans and industry insiders alike are buzzing with optimism, anticipating that this thaw in relations could spark exciting future collaborations and bring back the creative synergy that once defined their musical partnership.
