Global Afrobeats sensation Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has addressed public curiosity surrounding his rare appearances at social gatherings, revealing that introversion, age, and a focus on family keep him away from the party scene.

The singer's comments came in a video interview that surfaced online on Tuesday, following social media commentary regarding his absence from high-profile events organized by close industry peers, including Zlatan Ibile’s recent wedding in Morocco.

Explaining his lifestyle choices, Wizkid shared that growing older has refined his priorities, making him prefer quiet time at home with his children over crowded public spaces.

"I'm an introvert. I like staying indoors. I don't like to do a lot of things. I don't like to go to a lot of parties. I don't hangout... I think that really comes from age and personal experiences... You just know what you want more as you grow older," Wizkid explained.

The Grammy-winning artiste added that even when he occasionally attends events, small mishaps, such as someone accidentally spilling a drink, often remind him that he would rather be spending quality time with his son at home.

Despite his status as one of Africa's biggest musical exports, Wizkid has maintained a famously private personal life, rarely granting long-form interviews or making unexpected public appearances outside of scheduled concert tours.
