“I’m not bothered that people think I am arrogant” – Wizkid

In a new interview with Encomium mag, Wizkid said he doesn’t
care if people think he is arrogant, that he doesn’t love everybody
and so doesn’t expect everybody to love him.

Asked if it bothers him that people think he’s arrogant, Wizkid said;

“Bother me? Never! I am not bothered. Honestly I don’t hear
people saying it because anytime I go out, I show my fans
great love. I do my thing. I don’t have problem with that
because I don’t love everybody as well. So I don’t expect
everybody to love me too. That’s life” Continue…

Asked if he is terrible person, Wizkid said;

“Terrible? Everyone has opinion about people. But when they
say Wizkid is terrible, you need to ask them, “Why is Wizkid
a terrible person? What did he do? For four years, I was
making music with Samklef, everyone knew his house. I was
going up and down, shouting, Samklef Nor Ni. That’s me, I
am just trying to be a good person. Whereas everyone cannot
like you and everyone cannot hate you” he said.

Asked if fame has in anyway changed him, Wizkid said:

“No, fame has not changed Wizkid. The only thing fame has
changed in Wizkid is that I added some accessories. I have
got nice chains, watches, and nice clothes. Asides that, I am
still Wizkid. I no tall, still same height”

He also reacted to his recent controversy with singer Saeon,
“Oh really? She’s bitter about it. I didn’t see the allegation
but I gave her hit song. I no try? I did my part. I was in the
studio with her, gave her hit song. I no try. That’s not even
how much I charge for collaboration, I charge N10 million. I
collected N1.5 million from her because of love. I was busy, I
didn’t want to do it” he said.

Asked about the comment that he doesn’t charge those he loves,
Wizkid said;

“Yeah I don’t charge people I love. I said so but when
someone is on your neck everyday for a collaboration and
she offers you money, won’t you collect it? If you fail to
collect it, they start calling you terrible person. I am just
trying to be a good guy”

On his fashion sense, Wizkid said;

“Fresh! Am I not looking fresh? I have always loved chains a
lot. For me, I also see chains as investment because they ar
gold and diamond. You can always sell anything gold and
diamond. It is like an investment for me”.

On why he loves to flaunt his accessories on social media, Wizkid
said;

“You know now. I didn’t have accessories when I started my
career. Did you see me wearing bling-bling when I did Hola
at your boi? No! I hustled to get money to buy them and there
is no crime if I show it or flaunt it to my fans because they
gave me money to buy them” he said.

On where he invests his money, Wizkid said;

“I will say property but most importantly Jewelry. Do you
know how much I can sell this chain on my neck when I get
broke, God forbid? It’s money and to me it’s investment. I
don’t spend money on foolish things. I spend moderately.
Besides I am a grown man. I have problems too. I have a
child I am taking care of. I have responsibilities, believe it or
not” he said.

Asked if he is expecting another child, Wizkid said;

“Expecting wetin? Did I tell you I am expecting a child? Yes I
didn’t tell you guys when I was expecting my first child
because people wanted to kill me but Honestly, nothing like
that I am not expecting any child now”

Asked if he is getting married anytime soon, Wizkid hissed and
said “Wedding? No!”
