I don\u2019t see Wizkid to be too much for me but Ghanaians see him like that and artistes also see him like that. I will not see Wizkid and be stunned, I rather want him to see me and be amazed because properties and investments are talking,\u201d explained Wale on Kasapa FM.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be wearing fake chains and tell me you\u2019re number one artiste in Africa because I don\u2019t get scared with those things.
