Geh Geh Claims Wizkid Uses Smart Collaboration Tactics To Stay Relevant

Content creator Geh Geh has shared what he believes is Wizkid’s secret to remaining at the top of the music scene. In a video posted on his X page, Geh Geh alleged that Wizkid maintains his relevance through calculated collaborations and strategic alliances — often orchestrated through his longtime associate, DJ Tunez. He explained that when a new artist becomes the talk of the industry, Wizkid doesn’t reach out directly. Instead, he works through DJ Tunez, who sets up the collaboration. “If an artist is trending and everyone wants to feature them, Wizkid doesn’t go straight to them,” Geh Geh said. “He contacts DJ Tunez, and Tunez links him with the artist. If the song doesn’t perform well, people say it’s Tunez’s track. But if it becomes a hit, Wizkid gets the credit.” Only Wizkid understand this secret ☝️🏧 pic.twitter.com/Mq30w8uubx — GehGeh (@official_Gegeh) October 31, 2025
