The issue between Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji and musician Wizkid has escalated to another level, as the blogger was reported to have taken the issue to the police. The beef between the two became apparent early this year and since then, they have been going back and forth with exchange of words.

Also, Toni Payne, the ex-wife of 9ice, has called Linda a hypocrite and has called on every celebrity she has ever written an unconfirmed story on to sue her for doing so.
