You’d play my Christian album in a club if I released it right now. — Wizkid (Video)

Wizkid Balogun, an internationally renowned Afrobeat singer, explains why he will continue to focus on his current musical style rather than switching to gospel in the future.

This was revealed by the Grammy Award-winning musician on Thursday night during an interview on a global radio station.

The singer responded to a few questions throughout the interview, including the one asking him to choose between Tems and Burna Boy as his favorite artist.

The 32-year-old said near the end of the interview that every album he releases will be “vibes on vibes.” He said, “You are going to lay it in the club if I record a Christian album today.”

Remember that the singer delayed the release of his album, “More Love; Less Ego,” which will now air today, in response to the passing of Davido’s son, Ifeanyi.

Because of my children, I am now watchful of the lyrics in my song. – Wizkid

Wizkid, a singer from Nigeria, has admitted that his children have caused him to rewrite the lyrics in his songs.

Wizkid recently stated, “Now I am more careful with what I put in my songs since my kids listen to my music,” in an interview with the Guardian UK.

The numerous award-winning artist stated after the release of his new album, More Love Less Ego, “Along with regulating my ego, one other ambition for this new chapter is to live forever. I recently saw the musical “Get Up, Stand Up!” by Bob Marley. Hey, we’re watching a Bob Marley performance, and this guy passed away years ago.

The 32-year-old said, ”Bob Marley did so much at a young age I didn’t even know that he died at 36. It just reaffirms what I do, and I have to keep taking this to the highest heights. Because I know one day, they are definitely going to create a play about me.”

The Afrobeats megastar has other ideas he’d like to pursue besides music.

More music. I don’t know if I’ll ever stop doing that. That’s what I love most. Career-wise, let’s see where else the music takes me. I really like clothes and fashion, so I’ll definitely be doing something big in that regard, just exploring my options and interests at the moment when it comes to that. There are some personal things that I’d like to accomplish for myself, at home, and with the family too.

An old tweet from Davido to Wizkid on the day of Ifeanyi’s birth reads, “God bless me and you today.”

Ifeanyichukwu, the son of Davido and Chioma, was tragically declared dead on Monday, October 31st, in the wee hours.

While his parents were engaged in other activities, the toddler drowned in his father’s pool on Banana Island.

Everyone was shocked by the young boy’s death because Davido’s staff was apparently busy that night.

Shortly after the tragic event, a flashback tweet from Davido to Wizkid following a good performance surfaced.

The well-known artist thanked Wizkid and also shared the happy news of the birth of his son Ifeanyi.

Wizkid’s message was acknowledged by Davido, who also said that God had blessed him on the same day as Wizkid. In the jubilant mood, Davido begged for Wizkid to receive more.

His words are:

“Congrats my brother @wizkidayo on your show. I dey wait my son since as God bless you today him come bless me too! More to come blood! I see your message, My guy!”

Wizkid Postpones the Release of “More Love Less Ego”

Wizkid has moved the release date of his album “More Love Less Ego,” so fans will have to wait a little longer, but as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. See the updated date below.

Despite not being announced, the album is currently set to release on November 14th, as indicated by the date on the version that can be pre-ordered on Apple Music.

It appears that the project’s release date was moved from its previous date of the 4th of November to the 14th in sympathy with fellow megastar and colleague, Davido, over the loss of his son, Ifeanyi. Wizkid is known for moving release dates, and he has already moved the release of this album twice in the past. This action is implied by the fact that on the day the news first broke, Wizkid and Burna Boy both erased tweets advertising their respective ventures. Wizkid has since since not posted about his new album with a message of many sorrowful emojis being the sole item on his Instastory so far.

Does Burna Boy and Wizkid have a beef?

The internet is heating up as Burna Boy uses his Instagram story to post a message that may or may not be directed at Wizkid about his financial standing and standards. Details in our story below, in full.

Wizkid’s early morning speech may or may not be in line with Burna Boy, a Nigerian megastar, who just released a fresh declaration outlining his standards and value for money.

Burna Boy, known for his online outbursts, shared a new memo with the world via his Instagram story, teasing that he was too wealthy for some conversations. This prompted speculation, which has since picked up steam. The artist declared: “If you didn’t earn $100M this year, I can’t talk money with you. Just take a seat and smoke a BRKFST.”

It’s interesting that Wizkid’s Sunday morning Snapchat rouser, “I can quit touching the mic today and y’all lil niggas still can’t touch the wealth! Even if you beg ur dad and mom for help #morelovelessego #everybody’s daddy,” comes right after this remark.

Additionally, immediately after Burna Boy made his comments, Wizkid posted a mysterious comment on his Instagram story that said, “Small yansh dey shake o,” along with multiple laughing emojis.

Burna Boy and Wizkid have collaborated on a number of songs, including Ginger and Ballon D’Or, and have openly expressed a positive friendship and working connection. These online subliminals appear to have cast doubt on the minds of their respective fanbases, though. We won’t stop following the story even though we can’t determine for sure if the two acts are at odds.
