Wizkid Confirms Breakup With Girlfriend Tania Omotayo

Wizkid is single again. The Nigerian superstar singer, has confirmed the speculations that he has broken up with his long-time girlfriend,Tania Omotayo.

Wizkid revealed this on the ‘Drive-Time With Gbemi’ show on the Beat 99.9 FM, where he featured as a star guest, promoting his soon-to-be-released album entitled ‘Ayo’. When show host Gbemi Olateru questioned him on his relationship with Tania, (who has been showing signs that on social media that their love is currently suffering some strain), Wizkid was hesitant. He kept quiet for some seconds, and laughed awkwardly.

“My friend is fine. We’re cool, we’re cool. But I’m single now you know. Yeah, I’m single now. But it’s all love. I got love for her. She’s like my best friend anyways.” He replied the 

question.

This is sure to cause a stir among his fan base, because many had hoped that their relationship will lead to the altar.

investigations revealed that the source of the strain, which ended the relationship can be traced to Wizkid’s baby mama, Oluwashola Ogudugu, and how the “On Top Your Matter” crooner has been spoiling her silly including buying her a car, showering her with gifts and even placing her on the sum of N150, 000 for her upkeep and that of his son.

The first sign of trouble showed up when Shola posted the carWizzy bought for her on her Instagram account, as well as other items like a new phone and Valentine gifts, which many see as her way of taunting Tania.

This move really got Tania mad and she also used her ownInstagram to send the following words:

“Just because you love someone so much, does not mean they are the right one for you.

To reply back, the Holla at Ur Boi singer posted a photo on hisInstagram page which asked for his relationship status and he chose:

“In the studio’ over ‘In a relationship’

Insiders reveal to us that Tania is not very comfortable with the way Wizkid is so besotted on his son and in retrospect, onShola, who is said to be at loggerheads with Tania for ‘snatching’ her man.

The insiders say that since Wizkid is absolutely obsessed with his son, there are chances he may even go back to Shola who herself, is a stunning beauty, coupled with the fact that their son is a cord that will forever bind them together.

Another close pal of Wizkid who knew about the problems, stated that Tania tried (too hard) to win over Wizkid by buying the son, Boluwatife so many gifts, knowing that Wizzy loves him dearly, but that got frustrated because the hip hop star placed the boy’s issues above hers.

Finally, the inevitable has happened. Do you think Wizkid will return to his baby mama, or get a fresh shot at romance with another woman?

U17 World Cup: Nigeria beat Colombia, book quarter final ticket

Nigeria scored a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over a gallant Colombia to earn a quarter-final berth alongside Mexico and at the same time end the hopes of the South Americans.

Needing all three points to stay alive in Group D, Colombia burst out of the blocks with a third minute goal as Angie Rodriguez looped a header from a perfect Nancy Acosta cross over the head of stranded goalkeeper Onyinyechukwu Okeke.

Nigeria drew level just past the midway point of the opening half with Joy Bokiri curling in a perfectly flighted free-kick from the edge of the penalty area.

Nigeria took the lead for the first time approaching the hour mark as some sloppy marking from a corner allowed the tall figure of Uchenna Kanu to nod the ball in unchallenged at the back post.

Midfielder Ihuoma Onyebuchi then rattled the Colombia crossbar with a first time strike from distance with the South Americans increasingly on the back foot.

Colombia goalkeeper Monica Florez memorably pulled off four successive blocks during one almighty goalmouth scramble as they desperately hung on.

The win leaves Nigeria sharing top spot with Mexico, while Colombia will now tackle China PR with each seeking their maiden points of the competition.
