WizkidFC Blasts The Weeknd After He Titles New Project 'SMILE'

WizkidFC has called out The Weeknd for naming his latest project the same title as Wizkid's record with H.E.R, 'SMILE'.

Wizkid and The Weeknd

The Canadian singer, Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, known professionally as The Weeknd, announced the title of his latest single and collaboration with late JuiceWrld earlier today, the 7th of August via Twitter; a record made before the death of Juicewrld who died in December 2019 due to accidental overdose.

Announcing the title of the record, The Weeknd said, "The official title is "SMILE" :)", and WizkidFC has been crawling his timeline, blasting and questioning his reason for using the same name as Wizkid.

This reaction from Wizkid's loyal fans is coming from the previous knowledge of The Weeknd calling himself 'Starboy', a name that has been associate with Wizkid since the inception of his music career which has evolved to also be his label, Starboy Records.

Here are some reactionary tweets;

We wizkid fans can be some how annoying.
He never copied wizkid and besides I think he trade marked the name starboy before wizkid think,luckily it wasn't a court case.
The song smile was on juice world track.
We wizkid fans should be humble,cause the weekend doesn't even care.
