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!”

Seems it is a season for acquiring Range Rovers by Nigerian celebrities. Linda Ikeji got hers last month, Patoranking followed suit, and now it is the Shoki crooner Orezi.

The music star Orezi just got himself a Range Rover (not sure what
model). He said he bought the car himself, that it wasn’t a gift
from his record label. He’s pictured above with Wizkid & another
friend. Congrats to him.

I charge N10m for collaboration from people I don’t love – Wizkid

image

In an interview with TheNETng this week, super star singer Wizkid
said he charges N10million for musical collaborations with artistes he doesn’t love but does it for free with the ones he loves.

“I charge N10million for collaboration but I don’t charge the
people I love. (but) I don’t pay for collaborations because I
am confident of myself,” he said.

And people pay? And about his collaboration with singer Saeon,
who is not happy that he failed to help promote her song despite
paying him N1.5m, Wizkid didn’t deny collecting the money but
said he made the song a hit “I made ‘Boogie down’ song a hit, I
did the song out of love from my heart.’

Looks like music producer Samklef wants to auction Wizkid’s instrumental (for the songs he was involved in) to anyone interested…lol. Samklef said in an interview yesterday that even though he doesn’t regret working with Wizkid’s talent, he regrets working with his person.

Wizkid has since shown him love on Twitter but it seems Samklef isn’t having any of that. See more tweets after the cut…
