Why I don’t talk about Nigerian politicians – Wizkid.

Nigerian music star Ayodeji Balogun, fondly known as Wizkid or Big Wiz, has revealed why he rarely comments about politicians in his music and interviews.

Wizkid said the Nigerian masses don’t care about politics, adding that they only care about how to make ends meet.

He spoke in a recent interview with Evening Standard, UK.

“I don’t like to speak about politicians in Nigeria. People in the streets care about themselves and what they will eat. They don’t care about nothing else,” the ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner said.

Big Wiz also disclosed his ambition as a leader of the new Nigerian musicians.

He said he wouldn’t judge “previous generations”, stressing that his goal is “to steer the new generation forward.”

Wizkid said he desires the new crop of Afrobeats artists to make global exploits and be united.

The 33-year-old has established himself as one of the leading names in the African music industry.

The worlds of entertainment and politics may seem vastly different, but a few celebrities have managed to jump in for the greater good.

Nigerian celebrities who have made the leap into politics include Olumide Oworu, Banky W, Desmond Elliot, Funke Akindele, and Tonto Dikeh.
