2013, Wizkid caused a stampede at
the New Afrika Shrine that lasted
close to 30 minutes and interestingly,
it had nothing to do with his
performance.
The Pop star had just wrapped up his
thrilling performance at about
3:26AM when he asked his manager
Godwin Tom to hand him two bale of
N500 notes suppos
dly around the sum of N100,000. Wizkid
then threw the money into the crowd and
left the stage.
Wizzy and his entourage immediately left
the venue without the knowledge of the
near-disaster he had caused as fans in the
crowded general public area proceeded to
hound themselves over a few thousands of
Naira. The fight for the N500 notes
amongst the crowd couldn’t be controlled
by the stage security. In fact security
guards joined in the fight for the money.
The fight led to a stampede and lasted for
another 30 minutes. It had to take the
intervention of more security officials and
show host Omobaba who pleaded for the
crowd to be calm.
