Popular musician, Ayodeji Balogun, professionally known as Wizkid has said that being a father changed him a lot.
The musician recently spoke in London with Shopsydoo, a well-known UK-based podcaster of Afrobeats, about how becoming a father has influenced him both personally and artistically.
Wizkid claims that having children filled his heart with an abundance of love, which acts as a driving motivation for him to continue. He stressed that this strong love is what gives him motivation and perseverance.
Wizkid also said that for him, music is a way of life rather than just a job. He exclaimed with enthusiasm that it permeates every element of his life and is something he “eats,” “sleeps,” and “breathes.”
In his words, ‘’I sleep, breathe, eat, sh*t music. I’m always trying to elevate my craft from my sound, my videos, my productions, everything to a whole new level,’’ he said.
‘’It [being a father] has changed me a lot. I am grown; lots of love in my heart, fuels me to keep going, that is the drive, the only drive to keep me going.
“My family, my kids, I just feel blessed to be their father, take care of them, God put me in that position, it is the biggest blessing in the world, being able to recreate.’’
