Once, during a concert, both Afro B and Wizkid were performing. After his performance, Wizkid was in the audience and watching the subsequent performers. He was seen dancing to the tunes when Afro B was performing. When Afro B saw those clips, he uploaded them on Twitter and tagged Wizkid, praising his popular song StarBoy-Soco.
