Grammy award-winning Nigerian musician, Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has lost a valuable ring during his packed concert at the Tottenham Stadium in London, UK over the weekend.
The highly anticipated sold-out show, which took place on Saturday night, saw Wizkid deliver a memorable performance to an ecstatic crowd.
However, amidst the energy and excitement, an unfortunate mishap occurred when the singer attempted to fling his jacket to the enthusiastic audience.
The expensive ring accidentally slipped from Wizkid‘s finger as he made the gesture, leading it to roll down towards the front row. In an Instagram live session after the concert, with British-Nigerian podcaster Adesope Olajide revealed his disappointment for missing the opportunity to pick the ring before it slipped away.
He estimated the ring to be worth a staggering £100,000 (approximately N85 million).
Olajide, known for his previous luck in retrieving rings at other artistes’ concerts, expressed his regret for not being in the right place at the right time to catch the prized possession.
He candidly admitted that he had previously caught rings belonging to artists like Zlatan Ibile and Diamond Platnumz during their performances.
