Daddy Showkey, the veteran Nigerian singer, has revealed that Grammy-winning artist Wizkid was the person who introduced him to Instagram.
In a video call with music producer Maleek Berry, Daddy Showkey recounted how a visit to Wizkid’s home a few years ago led to his introduction to the social media platform.
He said he found out he was trending online after Wizkid made a post about him, which sparked his curiosity about how Instagram worked.
According to him, Wizkid not only explained the platform but also helped him create an account. He added that fellow artist KCee later guided him on how to effectively navigate and use the app.
Daddy Showkey expressed appreciation to both artists for their support, crediting them for helping him connect with a broader audience.
“I had a special call today from @maleekberry and I shared a story of how @wizkidayo introduced me and also helped me open my Instagram account, and how @iam_kcee also shared knowledge on how to navigate the app,” he wrote on Instagram. “Life is about learning, and applying the knowledge is key to the life we live now.”
