Why I’m not vocal about politics in Nigeria – Wizkid

Ayodeji Balogun, aka Wizkid, has revealed why he rarely makes political comments in his music and interviews, claiming that the Nigerian masses don’t care about politics and are only concerned with how to make ends meet.

Wizkid made the claim in a recent interview with the 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 30-year-old said he desires for the new crop of afrobeats artists to make global exploits and be united.
