Wizkid Allegedly Arrested For Smoking Illegal Substance In Kenya

Wizkid was reportedly arrested in Kenya last weekend, a Kenyan website has reported.

Standard Digital News says the Nigerian pop singer was arrested for smoking in a non-smoking hotel.

Just last weekend Wizkid who wrapped up the shooting of music video with Victoria Kimani, Del B and Patrick Elis was lodged in the Nairobi Crown Plaza Hotel. The 'Joy' singer was travelling from Kenya back to Lagos where he was scheduled to appear for the Hennessey Artistry Club Tour 2014 and while checking out of his hotel room was accosted for smoking illegal substances in a hotel that prohibited smoking of any sort.

Chocolate City artiste Victoria Kimani came to his rescue after he was made to pay a fine of Sh 50,000 ($560). Though Wizkid was released and made it to Lagos, Victoria on the other hand wasn't so lucky.

Reacting to the report however, Wizkid via his manager Seun Johnson in a telephone conversation with Ynaija said “Nothing of such happened. It is all rumour, rumors keep churning out everyday, it didn’t happen.”

Also, a source who was privileged to be on the alleged cancelled flight with Wizkid told Ynaija “I was on that same flight with him,  he didn’t cancel any flight, it was only delayed. He was on that flight which left Nairobi at about 4pm.“
