Barely 3 weeks ago, a report surface online that Nigerian music star and record label owner Wizkid is alleged the fathered a newborn baby boy named Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, Jnr., which is Wizkid’s legal name.
Ever since the new broke online, pop star Wizkid or his management team has not released an official statement regarding to claim or denies the newborn baby by Binta.
Wizkid‘s alleged babymama Binta Diamond Diallo, is American of Guinean heritage residing in Georgia,US and she has reacted to Wizkid‘s denial of the baby in recent interview she granted to US gossip blog ” The Shade Room ” and clearly indicated her disappointment, and concern that Wizkid was reneging on his promise not to be a deadbeat dad.
The way things is going now, it seems music star Wizkid might landed himself in USA jail, if care is not talking over this issues, because the new-baby is American citizen born on US soil.
” American law concerning deadbeat fathers has legal bite, even for foreigners who become parents of American children.” according to Ms Uduak of Africamusiclaw.com
Irrespective of the fact that you are an international artist, the next time you step on U.S soil, you can and will most likely be slapped with a subpoena by the mother’s attorney to appear in court to deal with the case of your lack of child support. After you are served and when you appear in court, the court will first determine the issue of paternity.
The promoters that bring you to USA, have advertise all over about your performances. If you will perform, you might just get served by a sheriff on stage while you are performing. Yeah. You are effectively “spoiling market” for all: the promoters who want you to perform, the local artists here that may want to work with you and of course you again make your fellow country people look bad.
If Wizkid’s is not planing to end in US jail, he needs to do following process for his life and his music career, according to respectful US-based Nigerian entertainment and fashion lawyer Ms Uduak.
First things first, Wizkid should take a paternity test to confirm whether the child is in fact his.
Secondly hire a crisis management legal team. Your managers are ill-equipped to handle cases like these and so are many if not majority of the public relations firm out of Nigeria.
Third, once confirmed that the child is in fact yours, own responsibility, work things out and start taking care of your legal responsibility. Every American child has a legal right to be financially supported by his or her parents. Your stay in Africa or the fact that you are an African artist is not going to eradicate that right.
Fourth, you can work out a child support agreement with your baby’s mother without the involvement of the court. In this instance, Diallo says she trusted Wizkid’s word that he would take care of his child. When you make such a promise and then renege on your promises, you better believe for a situation like this, a mother’s love for you will quickly turn into hate because you are not protecting her child; and she will drag you through the legal justice system. There is no incentive for Diallo, a non-Nigerian, to put up with the shaming, embarrassment and most importantly her child going without when his father can afford to take care of him. It makes no logical sense and don’t expect her to put up with it.
