The intrigue deepened as fans noted a unique branding coincidence: Wizkid’s eldest son, Boluwatife, is widely known by the nickname "Champz" —a near-mirror image of Champstiz’s stage name. This connection has led supporters to speculate whether the alignment is mere happenstance or a "divine" omen for the newcomer’s career trajectory.
