In a very interesting interview with Encomium, Wizkid open
up on very important issues.
When asked if it bothers him that people think he's
arrogant,
Wizkid said;
"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"
When asked if he is terrible person,
Wizkid said;
"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.
When asked if fame has in anyway changed him,
Wizkid said;
"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"
He also reacted to his recent controversy with singer Saeon,
He said;
"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" he said.
When asked about the comment that he doesn't charge those he
loves,
Wizkid said;
"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,
Wizkid said;
"Fresh! Am I not looking fresh? I have always loved
chains a lot. For me, I also see chains as investment because they are gold and
diamond. You can always sell anything gold and diamond. It is like an
investment for me".
On why he loves to flaunt his accessories on social media,
Wizkid said;
"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" he said
On where he invests his money,
Wizkid said;
"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"
When asked if he is expecting another child,
Wizkid said;
"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"
Lastly, when asked if he is getting married anytime soon,
Wizkid hissed
and said "Wedding? No!"
