Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has opened up about his increasingly private lifestyle, revealing that he rarely attends parties because he prefers staying indoors and spending time with his family.
The Grammy-winning singer, whose real name is Ayodeji Balogun, discussed his approach to social gatherings during an interview with Famous TV, describing himself as an introvert who does not particularly enjoy crowded places or frequent outings.
Wizkid explained that his attitude towards social activities has changed over the years, largely because of age and personal experiences that have influenced how he makes decisions.
“I’m an introvert. I like staying indoors. I don’t like to do a lot of things. I don’t like to go to a lot of parties. I don’t hangout,” he said.
Wizkid Says Age Has Changed His Priorities
The singer noted that becoming older has made him more thoughtful about how he spends his time and the situations he chooses to put himself in.
According to Wizkid, personal experiences have helped him become more deliberate about his decisions and clearer about what he wants in life.
“I think that really comes from age and personal experiences. That’s not like how people perceived me. It’s just like I’m going older as each day passes. So, like getting smarter with my decisions, you just know what you want more as you grow older,” he explained.
His comments offer insight into why he may appear less accessible than some fans expect, suggesting that his preference for privacy is more about personality and changing priorities than avoiding people.
Wizkid Would Rather Be Home With His Son
Wizkid also shared a relatable example of why parties sometimes fail to appeal to him.
He explained that even when he initially feels excited about attending an event, small inconveniences can make him question why he did not simply stay home.
The singer recalled situations where someone accidentally spills a drink on him, prompting him to think about the alternative of relaxing at home with his son.
“Sometimes when I go to the party, I’m excited to be there. And some just spill a drink on me and I will be like, I could be at home with son. You know, just having a good time. Not like I feel insulted,” he said.
Wizkid clarified that such moments do not necessarily offend him. Instead, they remind him that he often enjoys the comfort of his home more than the experience of being at crowded social events.
His latest comments provide another glimpse into the personal side of one of Afrobeats’ biggest international stars, showing how his priorities and approach to life have evolved with age.
