International singer, Ayo
Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has said that fatherhood means more to him
than anything else.
In a video shared on his YouTube
channel, the singer who is celebrating the tenth anniversary of his debut
album, ‘Superstar’, said, “My son is like my best friend. He calls me every day
and we have the craziest conversations. He is nine. It is very important for me
to keep family together. That is one thing my parents always instilled into us—
to understand that there is nothing more important than family. Fatherhood
means everything to me. Before I used to see myself as a musician, but now, I
see myself as a father. I am a father before anything else.”
The ‘No Stress’ singer also
stated that as a child, he usually went to the mosque with his father, while he
followed his mother to church. He said, “Growing up in a very spiritual home in
Lagos really opened my mind. My dad is a Muslim, while my mum is a Christian. I
used to go to the mosque with my dad and go to the church with my mother. That
really opened my mind to know that the biggest religion in life is love. Love
is the biggest religion I follow. The most important thing to me is family.”
Speaking on how Lagos inspires
him, the award-winning singer said, “Lagos is what defines me and that is why
everything I am today, were things I learnt from that side. Most of my
childhood was spent in Surulere. It was amazing for me. I still have flashbacks
every time I am in the studio. I was the last child of the family. I wasn’t
spoilt but I had my ways sometimes.”
