Nigerian singer, Wizkid in a recent chat
speaks about his personality, people’s
perception about him, getting married and
having another child. Enjoy excerpt from the
interview with Encomium below:
On his recent controversy with singer Saeon,
“Oh really? She’s bitter about it. I didn’t see
the allegation but I gave her hit song. I no
try? I did my part. I was in the studio with
her, gave her hit song. I no try. That’s not
even how much I charge for collaboration, I
charge N10 million. I collected N1.5 million
from her because of love. I was busy, I
didn’t want to do it”
Asked if it bothers him that people think he’s
arrogant;
“Bother me? Never! I am not
bothered. Honestly I don’t hear
people saying it because anytime I
go out, I show my fans great love.
I do my thing. I don’t have problem
with that because I don’t love
everybody as well. So I don’t
expect everybody to love me too.
That’s life”
Asked if he is terrible person;
“Terrible? Everyone has opinion
about people. But when they say
Wizkid is terrible, you need to ask
them, “Why is Wizkid a terrible
person? What did he do? For four
years, I was making music with
Samklef, everyone knew his house.
I was going up and down,
shouting, Samklef Nor Ni. That’s
me, I am just trying to be a good
person. Whereas everyone cannot
like you and everyone cannot hate
you” he said.
Asked if fame has in anyway changed him;
“No, fame has not changed Wizkid.
The only thing fame has changed
in Wizkid is that I added some
accessories. I have got nice
chains, watches, and nice clothes.
Asides that, I am still Wizkid. I no
tall, still same height”
Asked about the comment that he doesn’t
charge those he loves;
“Yeah I don’t charge people I love.
I said so but when someone is on
your neck everyday for a
collaboration and she offers you
money, won’t you collect it? If you
fail to collect it, they start calling
you terrible person. I am just trying
to be a good guy”
On his fashion sense;
“Fresh! Am I not looking fresh? I
have always loved chains a lot.
For me, I also see chains as
investment because they ar gold
and diamond. You can always sell
anything gold and diamond. It is
like an investment for me”.
Asked if he is expecting another child;
“Expecting wetin? Did I tell you I
am expecting a child? Yes I didn’t
tell you guys when I was expecting
my first child because people
wanted to kill me but Honestly,
nothing like that I am not
expecting any child now”
Asked if he is getting married anytime soon,
Wizkid hissed and said “Wedding? No!
On why he loves to flaunt his accessories on
social media:
“You know now. I didn’t have
accessories when I started my
career. Did you see me wearing
bling-bling when I did Hola at your
boi? No! I hustled to get money to
buy them and there is no crime if I
show it or flaunt it to my fans
because they gave me money to
buy them”
On where he invests his money:
“I will say property but most
importantly Jewelry. Do you know
how much I can sell this chain on
my neck when I get broke, God
forbid? It’s money and to me it’s
investment. I don’t spend money
on foolish things. I spend
moderately. Besides I am a grown
man. I have problems too. I have a
child I am taking care of. I have
responsibilities, believe it or not”
