Nigerian music superstar Ayodeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid, has opened up about his reasons for avoiding the display of his achievements on social media. In a recent podcast interview, the Grammy-winning artist shared insights into his personal values and the impact of his early life experiences on his approach to fame.
Wizkid emphasized that his past experiences have profoundly shaped his attitude towards public recognition. “I know what it feels to have nothing,” he said, reflecting on his journey from humble beginnings. He described how he and his siblings often went without meals during their childhood, growing up in a large household of 11 children. These early struggles, according to Wizkid, played a significant role in shaping his perspective on life and success.
The artist attributed his decision to maintain privacy about his accomplishments to the values of contentment and humility that were instilled in him by his family. Wizkid explained that his upbringing taught him the importance of modesty and staying grounded, which is why he opts to keep his achievements private rather than flaunt them publicly.
Instead of focusing on public accolades, Wizkid chooses to prioritize what truly matters to him, particularly his growing family connection.
