Controversial actor and preacher, Yul Edochie, has given his opinion on the ideas recently expressed by star artiste, Wizkid, about his colleagues, Davido and Don Jazzy.
Just like some other concerned Nigerians, Yul expressed concern particularly on the ‘war’ between Wizkid and Davido.
In a video on his official Instagram page, the actor argued that the death of the singer’s mother is one of the reasons is a reason he is behaving so controversially.
Yul added that Wizkid lives in a society where people would prefer to cause you suffering than to show you affection.
He believes that if the musician had a loved one at his side to give him advice, he would have been able to handle the loss more effectively.
Yul stated: “Many people would not understand what is happening to Wizkid but I will tell you, it’s the pain of losing his mother, Wizkid is going through the pain of losing his mother, it’s a terrible pain. You see that pain of losing a loved one is a terrible one I tell you, it’s a pain that will make you question God and question life,
“It’s a pain that will make you throw caution to the wind and sometimes even want to take your life, a pain that will make you keep asking yourself what’s the point of all the hustle and the achievement, sometimes even make you disrespectful and say a lot of things, a pain that will make you question your existence and make you wonder what are we doing here.
“What’s the point of all the hustle when someone can just drop dead at any time? Believe me, it’s a terrible pain. That’s what is happening to Wizkid and unfortunately we live in a world that will rather give you more pain than love.
“It only gets better if you have a loved one, someone who understands the pain you’re going through and will be there to help you ease the pain, be there to help you know when you’re crossing the line and tell you ‘don’t post this, don’t say this’, someone that helps you calm your nerves and the pain. It’s more difficult when you don’t have that loved one.”
Yul Edochie also addressed Wizkid directly in the video, telling him to slow down. The actor stressed that the singer’s mother would wish for him to succeed and follow his dreams.
He described the artiste also called Star Boy as one of the best in Africa just as he expressed his admiration for Davido too:
“Big Wiz, you have fans who love you. Take it easy, bro, I know that pain. Your mother is in a better place, take it from me, God knows best and we can’t question Him, everybody go go there o, I know your mum will want you to keep going and doing your thing.
Truth is you’re one of the greatest artistes on the continent of Africa, I’m a big fan of you Wizkid. I’m also a big fan of Davido, you guys have done great, just take it easy.”
