In a candid interview that has been making the rounds online, the Grammy award-winning music superstar shared insights into his deep passion for the sport and how it shaped his early life.
Wizkid revealed that his love for football dates back to his school days when he was an active member of the football team. His talent on the field was apparent, and he harbored serious ambitions of becoming a professional footballer. However, the singer admitted that his impatience and dislike for early morning training sessions ultimately led him to focus on music, even though he had shown great promise as a footballer.
He reflected on this passion, stating …
“If I wasn’t doing music, I would be playing football. I play football really well; I used to be in my school team.”
