Drake Is Absent in Wizkid's 'Come Closer' Music Video

Wizkid has released a music video for
new single 'Come Closer' which brings
the beauty of Africa on screen through
the captivating visuals.
Less than a week since the release of
single "Come Closer", Wizkid
unleashed its accompanying music
video on Thursday, April 6. The
DAPS-directed video looks simple yet
authentic as the Nigerian singer
dances lightly among scantily-clad
female dancers who twerk and do a
kind of African dance moves.
Meanwhile, his collaborator, Drake ,
doesn't show up throughout the three-
minute clip.
In the vibrant visuals, Wizkid
promotes African culture by featuring
heritage African dance and dark-
skinned beauties with African tribal
makeups. The track itself is groovy
and catchy, on which Wizkid and
Drake throw subtle shade at their
enemies through the lyrics.
Fans' responses, meanwhile, are
mostly focused on Drake's absence in
the music video. A fan commented,
"This seems rushed. Wizkid should
have waited to have Drake before
releasing the video. This was a once
in a lifetime opportunity and he just
made it less monumental with this
half-a**ed video smh." Another fan
predicted this, writing below the
video, "I knew Drake was not gonna
be there as usual lol."
"Come Closer" is the lead single off
Wizzy's upcoming RCA records debut,
"Sounds From the Other Side", which
is expected to be released this year.
The track also marks the rapper's
third collaboration with Drake after
"Ojuelegba" remix and "One Dance".
