You’re probably wondering where this trending slang came from. Guys, we have Wizkid to blame for this! He started off tweeting about soon coming ‘stew‘ earlier this month. And in this case, his tweet was all about his first 2018 singles “Fever” and “Master Groove”

Next, he tweeted this in the days leading up to the video release for “Fever” and he sure did serve up some Peppery stew.

Now with Nigerians, it is pretty easy to get everyone talking about something especially if it’s from a celebrity as big as Wizkid or Tiwa Savage. Tiwa Savage’s cameo in the Fever video with Wizkid was the moment that finally made everyone catch up on to Wizkid’s slang.

Seeing how the video already has over 2 million Youtube views, it’s no surprise that people have also jumped on the trend. And now, stew can be translated to mean so many things that we can’t even keep track anymore.
