X user slams Champz’s team — Wizkid’s baby mama claps back
A social media user on X (formerly Twitter), posting as @dat_deltagirl, publicly criticised the team handling Boluwatife “Champz” Balogun, accusing them of missed PR opportunities and weak promotion after the teen’s debut EP dropped. The critic argued the campaign missed chances to build a youthful fanbase and suggested the rollout didn’t lean into Champz’s age and viral potential.
Champz’s mother, Oluwanishola “Shola” Ogudu, quickly pushed back, reminding critics that her son is 14, balancing school with music, and urging the public to stop piling pressure on him. In her response, she defended the family’s decisions and pleaded for patience as Champz finds his footing.
The exchange amplified an ongoing debate about how to launch very young artists, especially those with superstar parents, and whether promotion should prioritise viral Gen Z-first strategies or protect a child’s normal development. Champz’s debut EP, Champion’s Arrival, has already attracted attention and chart activity, which only intensified the discussion.
