A video of Wizkid has stirred intense online discussion after the superstar appeared to suggest an interest in running for president.
The clip, which began circulating on January 8, 2026, shows Wizkid in an informal setting with family members and close associates, casually engaging in a conversation about politics. His relaxed tone left viewers divided, with many unsure whether he was joking or subtly floating a serious idea.
In the video, the singer boldly introduced what he called his own political platform, stating, “Wizkid political party. WPP. I am running for presidency in the year 20…” He did not complete the statement with a specific year, a pause that quickly fueled speculation across social media.
The timing of the video raised even more eyebrows, as it emerged only hours after Wizkid achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first African artiste to hit 10 billion streams on Spotify. With his influence and achievements at a peak, fans and observers have interpreted the moment as either playful symbolism or a deliberate hint at ambitions that may extend beyond music.
