Skepta Addresses Similarities With Wizkid’s New Tattoo; Replies Fan

The British rapper Skepta has directly addressed rumours that Wizkid had imitated his neck tattoo style. In November 2023, Wizkid revealed a new neck tattoo that said, “PRAY.” His tattoo provoked a heated discussion on social media, with users sharing their opinions on its meaning. Some fans speculated that Skepta inspired Wizkid’s “Pray” tattoo, as the British rapper is known for his neck tattoos. However, Skepta took to social media to clarify that he had no issue with Wizkid’s tattoo and that each artist has a unique expression style.

Recently, Wizkid has been in the news due to his much-awaited comeback to the spotlight. Fans are urging the singer to take some time off and truly enjoy himself, but he is not rushing to release a new project. Fans are aware that Big Wiz is undoubtedly having a good time during the holidays after meeting with Bella Shmurda, giving a fan 20 million naira, and sharing which artists are now his favourites.

The rapper, who is good friends with the singer, responded directly to a tweep’s assertion that Wizkid was using Skepta’s tattoo concept. According to Skepta, the fact that he has a neck tattoo does not preclude others from getting one. He shared,

“So because I get tattoo for neck, nobody else should catch am? You people should gerrout forreal, you are bored and it’s showing.”
