Wizkid Slams Buhari’s Aid Who Attacked Him For Calling The President “Old Man”
Wizkid reference to the president of Nigeria as an old man is still a bitter pill for the president’s inner circle. The president’s Personal Assistant on social media, Lauretta Onochie, came on the social to take a dig at the artist for his comment where he referred to the president as an old man. She wrote :
Its not disrespectful to call anyone old. Its the way and manner Ayo Balogun addressed the President that leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
He exhibited crass ignorance, insensitivity and childishness. But hey, he’s a #DumbkidNotWhizKid
When he grows up, he might learn respect
This write up quickly got the attention of the artist as he fired back with his own dig.

This has generated heated argument at both divide between the president’s supporters and the artist fans.

Hypocrites #wizkid
Cos she's now benefiting directly from the current ruling party of old leaders… Her butts should be kicked too pic.twitter.com/4wQs2HvYpO— odogwu (@mighty_strides) October 7, 2020
Did you see the context she used the phrase "Old Man". There was no sign of insult there.
The way a word is used gives it a whole different form.
That is why, I can say the Old Man is doing great things and not sound condescending.Not, just use social media for clout.
