But Reekado 'being the humble guy that he is' has set the records straight reminding fans he is still an upcoming artiste.

He took to Twitter and wrote,

“Let me clear the air real quick. Wizkid isn’t only my mentor but one of the GREATS who have paved way for the young ones like me,” Reekado Banks tweeted yesterday, adding, “Please dont disrespect Wizkid by comparing him to me wey just dey start abeg.”

This is not the first time the ‘Katapot’ singer is being compared to another artiste.

In January, after he won the Headies Next rated category, beating the likes of Cynthia Morgan and Lil Kesh, fans took to social media to make comparisons between him and Lil Kesh.

Since, Banks has shut down this new debate, we hope his fans can stop with the comparisms.

Meanwhile, the singer recently revealed he is not close friends with YBNL act, Lil Kesh. According to the talented act, he and Kesh weren't close friends but maintained that they have a cordial relationship despite the Headies drama.
