Akon Claims He Signed 13-Year-Old Wizkid to His Label

 

Wizkid was Akon's first signing in 2003, he claimed in a recent interview with Andrew Schulz, praising the teen's voice and composition through a collaboration with manager Banky W. Wizkid signed Banky W's EME label in 2009 at the age of 19, according to quick checks, while Akon's Konvict Muzik joined later in 2012 for distribution. While his love for Wizkid's early brilliance is still evident, fans draw attention to Akon's changing narratives over time and criticise the age disparity. As the video feeds online scepticism, Wizkid has remained silent.
