Twitter reacts as Wizkid releases, 'Joro.' (YouTube/StarBoy TV)

Pulse breaks down reactions from Wizkid FC, critics and those who say Wizkid needs a songwriter.

In May 2019, Nigerian superstar, Wizkid announced a single titled, 'Joro' with a picture of a scantily clad woman. The song never dropped.

When Wizkid dropped 'Ghetto Love,' Twitter went ballistics over the "Kolo Bi ko," adlibs that formed the song's hook. The song was bashed on the basis of songwriting and terrible content.

But again, the industry came to a stand still after Wizkid announced that 'Joro' will finally drop on October 1, 2019. Yesterday, the song premiered on Ebro Darden's Beats 1 show at 9:55 pm. Its video dropped a few moments later.

Wizkid need to work with songwriters. It wouldn't make him less of a musician. Afrobeat has spread across the globe. People want content and the earlier he realises that his fanbase isn't limited to Surulere, the better for him.
Joro is 2/10 lyrically
Production wise - 8/10
