So, Wizkid finally dropped the highly anticipated video of his collaborative single with Drake, Come Closer.
The Starboy had been teasing fans for the past week now about the video and fans have been glued to the edge of their seats, patiently waiting.
In the wee hours of this morning, the 26-year-old took to his Instagram to announce the release of the video. “Big thank u to my real supporters! Come closer video out!” he wrote.
The video, which was directed by popular Nigerian born American video director Oladapo ‘Daps’ Fagbenle, falls nothing short of being stellar. However, fans couldn’t help but ask one very important question: ‘Why is Drake missing in the video?’
“Honestly, the only reason why I clicked was to see drake in the video and was disappointed after his verse. Great video quality tho.” one fan wrote
“Mbanu!! Warrisdis?! This song is huge and the sound is right. Boi, go all out for a good visual. If Drake has a tight schedule, take the shoot to him and do some magic. The video no sweet jor!” Another fan wrote
And here is why this is such a huge question.
Last year, Nigerians declared war with Drake after he shot the video of his hit single One Dance featuring Wizkid and Filipino singer Kyla in South Africa; without the Starboy.
Since Drake and Wizkid struck a friendship and music relationship after Drake covered Wizzy’s Ojuelegba in 2015, the musicians have NEVER been pictured or seen together. Even though the pair appear to be in contact and have worked together on several songs, fans can’t help but be curious about why they have not been seen together.
@Drake doesnt wanna be seen with @wizkidayo in a vid. Idk why. Wizkid is a great guy. https://t.co/3k8Pft5Yo1

Could Drake’s absence in the video be tied to the fact that he was on a Europe tour and didn’t have time to film?
Whatever the reason, fans are demanding answers.
Check out the video below.
