Fans React as Daniel Regha Critiques Wizkid's Kese Music Video: "The Fact He Directed It is Nice"

• Social media commentator Daniel Regha has publicly criticised Nigerian singer Wizkid’s attempt at directing the music video for his song "Kese (Dance)," labeling it a subpar effort that failed to capture the song’s energy
• Regha pointed out that the video lacked a cohesive theme, describing it as more of a basic performance video rather than a captivating visual narrative, despite Wizkid’s attempt to explore a new creative direction
• This criticism aligns with Regha’s history of reviewing Wizkid’s work, including previous remarks on songs like "Money & Love" and "IDK," as well as his broader commentary on the singer’s career trajectory

Social media critic Daniel Regha has once again stirred conversation by aiming at Afrobeats superstar Wizkid, this time focusing on his music video directing skills.

In a post on X dated March 5, 2025, Regha expressed disappointment in Wizkid’s direction of the "Kese (Dance)" music video, a track from his recently released album Morayo. According to Regha, the video fell short of expectations, failing to match the energy of the song. He described it as a simplistic performance video rather than a well-crafted visual story, suggesting that Wizkid’s attempt to venture into a new creative lane did not succeed.

This critique was posted just days before March 7, 2025, aligning with Regha’s consistent pattern of offering unsolicited reviews of Nigerian artists’ work.

Regha’s comments extended beyond the video’s content. He also took a swipe at Wizkid’s overall capability as a director, stating in a follow-up X post directed at video director TG Omori that Wizkid "doesn’t have the skills to become a music (video) director yet.” This blunt assessment underscores Regha’s tendency to provide detailed, often critical feedback on creative outputs in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

The "Kese (Dance)" video critique follows a pattern of Regha evaluating Wizkid’s efforts, as seen in prior posts where he called the "Money & Love" video visually clean but contextually lacking and the "IDK" video featuring Zlatan poorly produced with no memorable storyline.

Regha’s Detailed Assessment of "Kese (Dance)"

His description of Wizkid's attempt as a “simple performance video” suggests a lack of narrative depth or artistic innovation—elements he seems to prioritize in his critiques of music videos. This feedback adds to the ongoing discourse about Wizkid’s evolution as an artist, particularly as he branches into new roles like directing.

"To be fair,I was kindof disappointed at the video too. It was screaming performing arts students while playing a song in the background. But the fact WizKid directed it is nice."
