Grammy-winning Nigerian Afrobeats star Wizkid has disclosed that football was his initial career choice before he found fame in the music industry. The Nigerian singer revealed his passion for the sport and the discipline it requires, highlighting how his school football team days shaped his competitive spirit.

While Wizkid enjoyed playing football and was a member of his school’s team, his impatience and aversion to early morning training ultimately led him to pursue music. “If I wasn’t doing music, I would be playing football,” he admitted, emphasizing his talent and love for the game.

Despite his musical success, Wizkid maintains a deep respect for football and its demanding nature. He also shared his unique approach to security, eschewing traditional bodyguards in favor of a close-knit management team he considers family. This unconventional method reflects his personal style and trust in those closest to him.
