Popular social media critic, Daniel Regha, has stirred major reactions online with his latest scathing review of Wizkid’s recent musical output. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Regha expressed his disappointment in the singer’s creative direction, rating his latest collaboration "Getting Paid" a dismal 2.5 out of 10.
In the post, Regha stated, “Wizkid has been in about 10 songs this year, and not one is exceptional.” He went on to dissect the track in question, highlighting its lackluster intro and chorus delivered by Asake, while acknowledging that Wizkid’s entrance on the track was “decent,” especially compared to some of his past works which, according to Regha, were “off-keyed.”
However, the praise ended there. Regha argued that aside from the beat, Wizkid’s contribution lacked originality and depth. “Wizkid offers nothing new creatively speaking,” he wrote, insisting that the artist has remained stagnant in his artistic journey over the years.
Meanwhile, “Getting Paid” continues to gain streams across platforms, but with mixed reviews now circulating, its long-term reception remains uncertain. Many listeners are now revisiting the track to hear it through a more critical lens.
As always, Regha signed off with his trademark line—“No offense”—though the comment has clearly ruffled feathers. Whether one agrees or not, his words have once again set social media buzzing.
Adding to his critique, Regha called out the choice of featured artists on the track, particularly Skillibeng, stating that the Jamaican deejay was not a good fit for the collaboration. “Skillibeng also wasn't a right fit for the collab,” he bluntly added.
The tweet, which has racked up over 259,000 views in under 24 hours, has sparked intense debate among fans and industry watchers. Some agree with Regha’s honest assessment, while others accuse him of being overly critical or biased against successful artists.
This is not the first time Regha has taken aim at Wizkid. He’s previously criticized the Grammy-winning star for what he calls a “lack of lyrical growth” and “predictable delivery.” Despite the backlash, Regha remains one of the few pop culture commentators who openly critique major stars without mincing words.
Wizkid, on his part, has not responded to the review and is known for ignoring online criticism. However, his fanbase—popularly called Wizkid FC—has been defending the star vehemently, calling Regha’s review unfair and dismissive of the song’s commercial appeal.
