Afrobeats star Ayodeji Balogun, known as Wizkid, has explained why he rarely turns up at parties and other public events. According to Daily Post Nigeria, he spoke in a video interview that surfaced online on Tuesday. The source does not say when or where the interview was recorded or who conducted it.
The video followed complaints from netizens about his absence at events organised by close associates such as Zlatan Ibile. Daily Post reports that Zlatan held a traditional wedding in Lagos on October 24, 2026, and later married in Morocco last week. The report does not say whether Wizkid was invited to either event, and it does not link his remarks directly to the wedding.
"I'm an introvert"
Asked by the interviewer, "Are you less accessible now?", Wizkid answered: "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."
He then pointed to age and experience as the reason: "I think that really comes from age and personal experiences. That's not like how people perceived me. It's just like I'm going older as each day passes. So, like getting smarter with my decisions, you just know what you want more as you grow older."
He added: "I don't go to parties, I don't like to hang around too many people. Sometimes when I go to the party, I'm excited to be there. And some just spill a drink on me and I will be like, I could be at home with son. You know, just having a good time. Not like I feel insulted."
The remarks come from a single report of a video circulating online, and the full interview has not been independently verified.
