Wizkid Sparks Speculation After Wiping Instagram Clean on 35th Birthday
Global Afrobeats superstar Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has wiped his official Instagram page clean, stirring massive curiosity among fans and industry watchers on his 35th birthday, Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
As of today, the Essence hitmaker’s Instagram, home to over 18.2 million followers, shows zero posts and no accounts followed, though his Instagram stories and highlights remain intact.
The dramatic social media move comes amid widespread birthday celebrations for the Nigerian icon, triggering speculation about a major announcement, a new era, or a personal transformation.
This isn’t unfamiliar territory for Wizkid. He has previously used social media purges and digital silence as preludes to album rollouts or brand resets. From the Made in Lagos rollout to the lead-up to More Love, Less Ego, similar moves have hinted at significant career shifts.
While the Grammy-winning star is yet to make an official statement, fans online are already predicting a surprise project, a rebrand, or even the long-awaited new album—all possibilities that have only intensified the anticipation.
Whether it’s a symbolic rebirth or a calculated tease, one thing is clear: Big Wiz is cooking something, and the world is watching closely.
