Boluwatife Balogun, the teenage son of Nigerian music singer Wizkid, has sparked outrage online after discussing the current fasting period.
The 14-year-old, who has recently entered the music industry, revealed his thoughts on the holy month in a post that rapidly gained traction among admirers on social media.

“This holy month really hitting different. Just watching things fall into place and all I can say is Alhamdulillah 🤲🏾.”

“What is your Arabic name?” the user asked.
