Ayodeji Balogun, nicknamed Wizkid, has stated why he seldom makes political statements in his songs and interviews.
According to him, the Nigerian masses are uninterested in politics and are concerned with how to make ends meet.
Wizkid stated this in a recent interview with the Evening Standard UK.
He said, “I don’t like to speak about politicians in Nigeria. People in the streets care about themselves and what they will eat. They don’t give a f*ck about nothing else.”
The ‘Ojuelegba’ singer also revealed his aim to be a leader of Nigeria’s next generation of musicians.
He stated that he would not pass judgment on “previous generations,” emphasizing his mission to “steer the new generation forward.”
The 30-year-old expressed his wish for the new generation of Afrobeat singers to achieve worldwide success and unify.
