Popular Nigerian blogger Linda Ikeji has reported musician Wiz Kid to the Lagos police commissioner. This comes after the Ojuelegba hit artiste wrote in a post on social media, “If I ever see you, I’ll get my 16 year old cousin to beat the sh** out of you”.

The controversial statement by Wiz Kid came at a time when the pair was on an all-out social media war. The beef started when Linda wrote an article stating that Wiz Kid couldn’t afford the rent in his Lagos mansion hence, he had been served with an eviction notice.

Speaking to Net Exclusive, a source stated:  “He (Wiz Kid) was instructed to show up today but he did not”.

According to Nigeria’s criminal code, “Any person who, knowing the contents thereof directly or indirectly causes any person to receive any writing threatening to kill any person is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for 7 years”.
