A Nigerian man recently sparked a social media frenzy after seeking help to unlock his iPhone 15 Pro Max. His request took an unexpected turn when users began tagging the FBI and police, alleging that the phone might be Wizkid’s stolen device.
The incident unfolded when the man shared a post on his page via X (formerly Twitter), explaining that he had become tipsy at Nativeland and forgotten the passcode to his phone. He appealed to followers for assistance in unlocking the device, stating that he needed access to his files.
In his post, he wrote: “Please, who knows how to unlock an iPhone 15 Pro Max? I got drunk at Nativeland and forgot my passcode. 😅🌚.” However, rather than receiving the technical assistance he sought, the post quickly gained traction for an entirely different reason.
Social media users began tagging Nigerian police, the FBI, and even Wizkid himself, alleging that the phone in question might belong to the popular Nigerian artist. This suspicion arose due to recent reports that Wizkid had lost his phone, a development that many fans were already discussing online.
Responding to the accusations in the comments, the man clarified the situation with a disclaimer, writing: “Make una stop tagging the police, this is my phone, I only forgot my passcode because I was drunk at Nativeland.” Despite his clarification, the post continued to generate attention and mixed reactions from social media users.
As the discussion escalated, individuals flooded the comment section with both humorous and accusatory remarks, doubting the man’s claim to ownership of the device. Some pointed out the coincidental timing of his plea, while others outright accused him of being in possession of Wizkid’s stolen phone.
