Starboy, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid in a recent chat with supermodel Naomi Campbell revealed that he is not a fan of awards.
The “Ojuelegba” singer while making an appearance on Naomi’s “No Filter With Naomi” show revealed that awards don’t define an artiste because it is a show organised by a company to give people.
Wizkid went on to explain that awards don’t define an artiste success. He went on to disclose that he is more interested in his music touching the right people as that leaves him fulfilled more.
Talking about how being nominated doesn’t influence him in any way, Wizkid explained that he couldn’t care less.
He said;
“I am not a big fan of awards, I have been very vocal about it. It doesn’t define who you are, it doesn’t define your substance. It doesn’t define how amazing you are at the end of the day.”
Wizkid also talked about his life, career and new album “Made In Lagos” during the show. He and Naomi reminisced about their first meeting as the 50-year-old reminded him that it was during Homecoming and how he was gracious to her during the afterparty to offer her his seat and get her a drink.
Talking about his family, Starboy said that if he wasn’t a musician, he would most likely be on the streets as he isn’t from a wealthy family.
“My parents aren’t wealthy. God blessed me to change the life of my family. If I wasn’t making music, I would be like every normal kid on the streets. Music definitely changed everything for me.”
