Fast rising pop star Wizkid is the latest victim of fraudsters on Facebook.<\/p>\n

The 21 years old singer we learnt is being impersonated by about three people on the social utility site thus duping of millions of naira in pretence to perform at shows in and out of the country.<\/p>\n

Confirming this to us,his Manager Osagie Osarenkhoe said\u201d It\u2019s quite unfortunate how people try to mess up a brand others are spending so much energy and time to build. It\u2019s true there are people on facebook who have been impersonating wizkid and we have had several reports of people who have been defrauded one way or the other.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wizkid as I speak with you does not have facebook account because for about one year now his facebook account has been deactivated.
Just recently someone was asked to pay about 500k to an account for Wizkid to perform at a show but luckily he mentioned it to one of Mo-Hits manager who told him straight Wizkid cannot negotiate for a show himself and he gave the person my number.<\/p>\n

It was not until he called me that he found out he was about to be duped. Right now we are going all out to let people know that he doesn\u2019t have a facebook account and cannot deal with anyone on the internet
