“How impatience made me quit playing football”- Wizkid shares how he used to be in his school team

  • Wizkid, expressed that he would have pursued a career in football if not for his music career.
  • Wizkid highlighted the dedication of his footballer friends, who maintain a strict training schedule, waking up at 6 am.
  • He emphasized the importance of his management team, viewing them as family rather than needing bodyguards.

Afrobeats artist Ayo Balogun, known as Wizkid, mentioned that if he weren’t a musician, he would have pursued a career in football.

He played on his school’s football team but didn’t continue in the sport due to his impatience and dislike for early mornings.

In an interview shared by @itzbasito on X, Wizkid talked about his footballer friends who party with him but don’t smoke or drink, as they have to wake up at 6 am for training, which he admires as dedication.

He also shared that he doesn’t travel with bodyguards because he views his management team as family, and his manager, Sunday Are, is like a father figure to him.
