Popular Nigerian singer Wizkid is currently searching for a viral pepper seller who declared himself a die-hard fan of the superstar and even claimed he would faint if he ever met him in real life.
The search began after a video of a young boy named Bukola, a pepper seller on the streets of Ibadan, Oyo state, went viral online.
In the clip, recorded by an interviewer known simply as Habeen, the child spoke passionately about his admiration for Wizkid.
In the now-famous video, Bukola was seen balancing a tray of pepper on his head as he explained that Wizkid’s music inspires him every day and gives him the strength to keep pushing.
He emphasised how important the singer is to him, revealing that his love for Wizkid is so intense that people no longer call him by his real name; they simply call him “Wizkid.” The young pepper seller also offered prayers for the star, wishing Wizkid and his son, Champz, long life and protection from untimely death. Addressing common criticisms against the singer, Bukola said that although some people describe Wizkid as proud, he believes the artist is simply being himself and avoiding unnecessary drama.
Bukola then went on to sing Wizkid’s hit song, Money Constant, confidently delivering the lyrics word for word. In response to the viral clip, Wizkid promised to meet the boy in December and has begun searching for him through his official DJ, DJ Tunez. “THIS DECEMBER YOU GO SEE BIG WIZ! 
OGBAFIA & SONS FIND THIS BOY FOR ME! ASAPPPPP!!!!!” He added, “OPE O! 
SEE YOU SOON!.”
