...I Will Be Mobbed If I Go Back to
SCHOOL…
WIZKID drops Bombshell to
Journalist…
One of the expensive prices
associated with stardom is the absence of total privacy. As a celebrity, you
can hardly do anything you wish like eating at a regular “mama-put” joint, go
to the mall to shop, or even taking a stroll down the street you live.
EME music star Ayodele Balogun
aka WizKid has said in a recent interview that the fear of being mobbed by his
fans is stopping from completing his university education.
Before he became a household
name, Wizkid was a student at a private university in Ibadan, Oyo State but as
soon as he became a music brand he finds it difficult to stay and concentrate
in class.
READ AN EXCERPT OF THE
INTERVIEW BELOW…
INTERVIEWER:
When
did you finally decide you were going to do music?
WIZKID’S REPLY: I
started when I was 11 years, in church; and from then on, I’ve been in love
with music and everybody in my family knows that. I dropped an album in church.
I performed in church. I go from church to church for performance. I did a
couple of concerts and later when I told my parents that I wanted to take music
serious, they refused.
They told me if I wanted to do
this professionally, I had to stay in school. I had to stay in school and again
do music professionally. So, it was like a double task for me. I’m thankful to
God for where I am now.
INTERVIEWER: Starting
from the church to secular music, what was the transition like?
WIZKID’S REPLY: If
you listen to my songs, you will see I’m always thankful to God. My relationship
with God is private; it’s between me and God and I don’t feel anybody should
come and judge based on what I do. The music I make is for the pleasure of it.
The music I make, I thank my God as well.
INTERVIEWER: You
said your parents wanted you to go to school. When are you fulfilling that?
WIZKID’S REPLY:
I’ve fulfilled it already. I was in university and I left in my second
year. Before I left, I was doing very fine academically and my parents had no
problem with that; but when the music and the brand became bigger, I couldn’t
stay in class because people were mobbing me.
It got really crazy and I don’t
think there is any university I will go in Nigeria without getting mobbed. So,
I just had to take a break from school and focus on my music for now.

What is your ADVICE for WIZKID?
