Why I’m not vocal about politics in Nigeria – Wizkid

In a recent interview with Evening Standard UK, Grammy award-winning singer Wizkid, also known as Ayodeji Balogun, explained why he rarely incorporates political comments in his music and interviews. He believes that the Nigerian masses are more concerned with their immediate struggles to make ends meet rather than engaging in politics.

Wizkid expressed his reluctance to speak about politicians in Nigeria, stating that the people on the streets are primarily focused on their daily survival and are indifferent to other matters.

In terms of his ambition, the ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner aspires to be a leader among the new generation of Nigerian musicians. He refrained from passing judgment on previous generations but emphasized his goal to propel the new generation forward.

Furthermore, Wizkid expressed his desire for unity among the new crop of afrobeats artists and hopes they can achieve global success together.
