Maleek Berry Claps Back at Trolls Claiming Wizkid Made Him
British-Nigerian record producer and artist Okunola Abdul Maleek Anu-Oluwapo Shoyebi, popularly known as Maleek Berry, has sharply responded to online trolls who belittled his music career and credited his success solely to Wizkid.
Maleek Berry, who has a long-standing friendship and professional relationship with Wizkid, was targeted by Twitter users who discredited his achievements and suggested that Wizkid was responsible for his fame. In a spirited defense, Maleek Berry emphasized that his silence should not be mistaken for weakness and showed his significant contributions to the music industry.
One of the trolls claimed that Wizkid was the one who made Maleek Berry successful. In a bold reaction, Maleek Berry called out the troll, referring to him as a “peasant” and asked for his account details to send him a monetary gift, a gesture he used to counter the troll’s insults. The troll, however, avoided providing details and instead inquired if Maleek had eaten.
The exchange stirred up a wave of reactions online. Fans and followers quickly rallied behind Maleek Berry, with many defending his legacy and dismissing the troll’s remarks. Comments ranged from criticism of the troll’s disrespect to affirmations of Maleek Berry’s influential role in the music industry.
Maleek Berry also shared a throwback video revealing how he coined Wizkid’s nickname, adding another layer to his established reputation in the music scene. This revelation came shortly after another artist, Davido, claimed to have introduced Maleek Berry to Wizkid.
