Wizkid’s Throwback Video: A Glimpse into His Football Dreams and Humble Beginnings
A recently resurfaced video featuring Afrobeats superstar Ayo Balogun, widely known as Wizkid, offers a captivating insight into the artist’s past aspirations in football. In this engaging interview, Wizkid reflects on his childhood enthusiasm for the sport and candidly discusses how it could have shaped his career if music had not taken precedence.
The video provides a nostalgic look back at Wizkid’s school days, where he was an enthusiastic member of his school’s football team. He reminisces about the joy of playing the game, juxtaposed against his struggles with the early mornings required for football practice. His frank acknowledgment of his impatience with such routines highlights a pivotal moment in his life—prioritizing music over his sporting ambitions.
In his reflections, Wizkid expresses admiration for the disciplined lifestyle of his footballer friends, noting their commitment to rigorous training and the avoidance of indulgent vices. This admiration underscores the values of hard work and dedication that have no doubt influenced his own successful journey in the music industry.
Beyond his sporting aspirations, Wizkid also provides a glimpse into his personal philosophy regarding safety and management. He explains his preference for relying on a close-knit team led by his mentor, Sunday Are, rather than employing bodyguards, which speaks to his trust in relationships over formal security.
This throwback video has sparked nostalgia among fans and renewed interest in Wizkid’s remarkable rise to stardom. It not only showcases his multifaceted personality but also serves as a testament to the humility and hard work that characterize his endeavors, both in music and sports. As fans revisit these memories, it becomes clear that the essence of Wizkid—passionate, disciplined, and grounded—remains a core part of his identity.
Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Davido, recently disclosed his and his wife, Chioma’s, decision to postpone further childbearing. In a recent episode of “Ride Along With Darryl,” the artist, a father of five, cited Chioma’s professional aspirations as the primary reason for this decision.
Davido emphasized that Chioma deserves a break to pursue her career ambitions, including opening a restaurant and launching a spice line, following the birth of their twins in 2023. This pause comes a year after the tragic loss of their first son, Ifeanyi. The couple’s decision highlights a growing emphasis on prioritizing individual goals within the context of family life.
Following his recent arrest and temporary detainment related to alleged criminal defamation against Fuji musician Saheed Osupa, controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, known as Portable, has vowed to pursue legal action against anyone who defames him.
In a widely circulated video, Portable declared his intention to ensure the arrest of individuals who engage in defamatory speech against him. Citing his own experience with legal repercussions for defamation, the “Zazu” crooner stated, “Whoever talks bad about me or defames me will be arrested. They have done it to me, and I will do it to anybody too. There is no mercy.”
This declaration follows Portable’s remand at the Oke Kura Correctional Centre in Ilorin after failing to meet initial bail conditions. He was subsequently released after Saheed Osupa withdrew the petition against him. The incident appears to have solidified Portable’s resolve to vigorously defend his reputation through legal means.
