Wizkid, the Nigerian music legend, recently shared a surprising revelation: if not for his music career, we might have known him as a professional footballer. Yup, that’s right—Wizkid was pretty serious about football during his school days, even playing on his school’s team. But what held him back from pursuing that path? It turns out, waking up early for training wasn’t his thing, and impatience didn’t help either! Football’s demanding discipline clashed with his artistic flow, pushing him to focus on his music career instead.
In his own words, Wizkid admits, "I play football real good... but I didn’t love those early morning drills!" While music became his primary fo2cus, his admiration for football remains, with deep respect for the dedication it takes to excel in the sport.
Adding another layer to his relaxed approach, Wizkid is known for skipping bodyguards, trusting only his management team, who he calls family. It’s clear that whether it's football, music, or security, Wizkid dances to the beat of his own drum.
Wizkid’s candid reflection shows how different his journey could’ve been, but also highlights the personal choices that lead us where we need to be. What are your thoughts on this side of Wizkid’s life? Let’s dive into the conversation!
