Wizkid and the experience of poverty represent a crucial lesson that must be shared and learned from.
Renowned Nigerian musician Ayodeji Balogun, widely recognized as Wizkid, has recently shared insights into his preference for a low-profile lifestyle and his reluctance to showcase his achievements on social media.
In a candid podcast interview, the Grammy-winning artist discussed the personal motivations behind his choice to maintain privacy regarding his successes.
Reflecting on his challenging upbringing, Wizkid recounted experiences from his childhood, where he and his siblings often faced food scarcity.
He attributed his decision to refrain from public displays of success to the values instilled in him by his family.
Growing up in a large family of 11 children, with four siblings from his mother, he highlighted how these formative experiences influenced his perspective on life and fame.
Wizkid articulated that his past hardships have kept him grounded, allowing him to remain unaffected by the allure of celebrity culture.
“I came from the bottom; I know what it feels like not to have anything.
There was a time in my life when I had never even had breakfast; it was just lunch or maybe dinner,” he remarked.
Nigerians on social media, along with fans globally, have praised him for his honest disclosure regarding his upbringing and the qualities necessary to remain grounded and composed.
