Alikiba performing at the 2016 MAMAs in South Africa
Now that Wizkid has gained global stardom, Tanzanian singer, Ali Kiba, looks to be threatening his position in Africa.
Their first altercation occurred when Ali and Wizkid had a backstage feud over who would perform before the other at Chris Brown’s concert in Kenya.
‘Ali Kiba felt he is bigger than Wizkid in Kenya hence, he could not understand why he was scheduled to perform before,’ Kenyan media stated then.
Ali won the dispute and Wizkid had to perform first. Besides, it was in East Africa, NOT West.
The French-speaking singer was voted ‘favorite male artist’ at Tanzania People’s Choice Awards (Tuzo Za Watu), so he has all the rights to brag.
Then again, Ali Kiba was awarded 2016 MTV EMAs ‘Best International Act: Africa’ – taking over from his country’s counterpart, Diamond Platnumz, who won it last year.
The award, originally given to Wizkid, was later rescinded and conferred on his new rival, Ali Kiba.
