Netizens have pointed out that WizKid is noticeably absent from photos highlighting PUMA’s past and present brand ambassadors.
This follows the musician’s recent claim that PUMA initially approached him before reaching out to Davido. WizKid previously stated that he declined the offer because he wanted better terms.
According to reports, PUMA had allegedly signed WizKid for $1M in 2020 but later signed Davido for $10M in December 2021.
Despite these claims, netizens have resurfaced an old article from PUMA’s website showcasing their ambassadors who helped shape the brand. While Davido’s image was included, WizKid’s was notably missing.
One netizen, @MissRozapepper wrote …
“Puma has unveiled their ambassadors both past and present who have worked with them and Davido is the latest addition. Davido signed with PUMA in a record-breaking endorsement in 2021. Till dates, no deal by any African artiste has supersede what he signed in 2021 until the renewal of over $10m.
Currently, Davido holds the number 1-3 record for the highest endorsement by Any African artiste and the list goes thus:
PUMA – $10m ( 2yrs, Renewed in 2024)
MARTELL – $7m (2yrs, Renewed in 2023)
PUMA – $5.5m (2yrs, signed in 2021)
MARTELL – $5m (2yrs, Signed in 2021)”
Mixed reactions have trailed this …
