The internet laughs as Yemi Alade mistakenly engages with a fake Wizkid profile.
Popular Nigerian singer Yemi Alade recently found herself in a humorous mix-up on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The incident involved a case of mistaken identity with a fake Wizkid account.
It all began when a verified Wizkid fan account, part of the “Wizkid FC” group, posted a cryptic message hinting at the star’s plans for the following day. The message was vague enough to pique the curiosity of many fans, including Yemi Alade.
Believing she was interacting with the real Wizkid, Yemi promptly responded to the post. Her response was a simple yet friendly gesture, perhaps indicating her interest in whatever Wizkid had in store.
Unbeknownst to Yemi, she had fallen for a classic social media prank. The account she interacted with was not actually run by Wizkid but rather by an impersonator. This realization came too late, as fans had already caught wind of the exchange.
Screenshots of the interaction quickly went viral, with many fans finding the situation amusing. The incident served as a reminder of the importance of verifying the authenticity of accounts on social media, especially when interacting with public figures.
One particular comment from a netizen drew a lot of attention. The individual poked fun at Yemi, suggesting that she thought she was responding to Wizkid himself. This comment further fueled the amusement of fans, solidifying the incident as a lighthearted moment in the world of social media.
