Nigerian singer Zinoleesky has once again captured the internet’s attention—this time, not with a chart-topping song, but with his candid response to a controversial question during a recent TikTok live session.
The Party No Dey Stop crooner, whose real name is Oniyide Azeez, appeared on a live stream hosted by viral skit maker Habeeb Hamzat, aka Peller. Known for throwing celebrities into the hot seat with tricky hypotheticals, Peller didn’t hold back. Just before wrapping up the session, he asked Zinoleesky a question that’s become something of a social media challenge: If Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy were all drowning, who would you save?
Zinoleesky, visibly caught off guard, paused before choosing Davido. He explained that while he isn’t particularly close to any of the three Afrobeats giants, he feels the most comfortable with the Unavailable hitmaker.
His response quickly went viral, igniting debates across social media. Some fans applauded his honesty, while others began weighing their own hypothetical choices. The conversation even sparked comparisons to a similar moment involving Tiwa Savage, who recently picked Rema over the same trio, citing his youth and future potential.
Whether lighthearted or controversial, moments like these continue to fuel entertainment chatter and show just how deeply embedded music stars are in pop culture discussions.
As Zinoleesky trends for his spontaneous honesty, fans are once again reminded that sometimes, it’s the unexpected moments, not just the music, that keep artists in the spotlight.
