The Weeknd ditched his iconic hair for a fresh new look as he revealed the cover for his new album, ‘Starboy’. However, he offended the fans of Nigeria’s very own Starboy, the international celebrity, Wizkid. Check out what they said on Twitter:
Fam, there is only one #Starboy, and his name is Wizkid. He earned it. https://t.co/gk99Un5gOA

Wizkid should have trademarked the word Starboy!

"StarBoy…don't we already have one of tho…."

Wizkid has been in US for some months and he has already inspired his boy the Weeknd to name his album 'Starboy'

We are just here wondering is it that serious? Can no one else now be a starboy again? Wizkid himself was asked by one of his followers what he thinks about the weekend calling his album ‘Starboy’ and, well-
Everybody a Star! 💥 https://t.co/jKrVPwWEXv
