Wizkid’s first baby mama, Shola Ogudu, has captured widespread attention following a recent Instagram post that featured a surprising choice of background music. The video, shared earlier this week, shows Ogudu in a joyful mood, grooving to the rhythm of ‘Turbulence,’ a collaborative hit song by Afrobeats superstar Wizkid and fellow artist Asake.
Her post, which quickly amassed thousands of reactions, was accompanied by an upbeat caption: “We dey Grind.. We dey Elevate, S’ebi Oluwa sha Lon SHOLA.”
The decision by Ogudu to soundtrack her moment of self-celebration with music from her son’s father has particularly resonated with fans, given their shared history. Many observers are interpreting the gesture as a significant display of personal growth and maturity.
A History of Public Scrutiny
The heartwarming post gains additional significance when viewed against the backdrop of past public challenges between Ogudu and Wizkid. In 2018, Ogudu openly criticized the Afrobeats icon on social media, accusing him of neglecting their son, Boluwatife, affectionately known as Champz. This public spat drew considerable media attention and highlighted a visible strain in their co-parenting dynamic at the time.
Therefore, her latest video has prompted a wave of positive reactions from netizens, who view it as a powerful sign of healing and improved relations between the former partners.
Supporting Boluwatife’s Journey
This recent display of camaraderie comes shortly after Ogudu publicly defended their 14-year-old son, Boluwatife Balogun, concerning the management of his burgeoning music career. Following the release of his debut Extended Play (EP), ‘Champions Arrival,’ Ogudu urged the public to refrain from placing undue pressure on the young artist, emphasizing his need to balance his musical aspirations with his ongoing education.
Shola Ogudu’s latest Instagram post not only delighted fans but also subtly communicated a narrative of peace and maturity, marking a notable chapter in her public relationship with Wizkid and their shared commitment to their son.
