In a new interview with Encomium mag,
Wizkid said he doesn’t care if people
think he is arrogant, that he doesn’t love
everybody and so doesn’t expect
everybody to love him.
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”

“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, 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,
“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.
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 ar 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”
he said
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”
Asked if he is getting married anytime
soon, Wizkid hissed and said “Wedding?
No!”
