Why I’m not vocal about politics – Wizkid

Grammy award-winning singer, Ayodeji Balogun who is popularly known as Wizkid has revealed the reason he doesn't actively participate in politics or make political comments in his music and interviews.

According to the singer, the Nigerian masses only care about how to make ends meet and not engage in politics.

Wizkid made the assertion in a recent interview with Evening Standard UK.

He said, “I don’t like to speak about politicians in Nigeria. People in the streets care about themselves and what they are going to eat. They don’t give a f*ck about nothing else.”

The ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner also disclosed his ambition as a leader of the new generation of Nigerian musicians.

He said he wouldn’t judge “previous generations”, stressing that his goal is “to steer the new generation forward.”

The 33-year-old said he desires the new crop of Afrobeats artists to make global exploits and be united.
