Wizkid, the Grammy-winning Afrobeats phenomenon, has stated that football would have been his alternate profession if music had not worked out.
The Nigerian superstar expressed his enthusiasm for the sport and love for the discipline necessary to excel in football.
Wizkid, who was on his school’s football team, admitted that his impatience and disdain for early morning training sessions drove him to concentrate on music instead.
“If I wasn’t doing music, I would be playing football, I play football real good, I used to be in my school team”, he said.
He did, however, state that his respect for the sport and its challenges remained high.
Wizkid also discussed his unique approach to security, choosing not to travel with bodyguards and instead depending on his close-knit management team, whom he considers family.
