The man or boy at the moment as you may decide to call him Wizkid has finally opened up on the
recent issues bothering him,such as his relationship with EME and his new
album, he also talk about his damaged car with a new one, and most importantly his minimum worth when invited for a show..This is the chat with Wizzy;
What transpired between you and the UNILAG students ?
All is now clear and obvious,that people display and parade themselves as either me(Wizkid) or my manager. The unfortunate incident regarding the UNILAG
students is a case of mistaken identity where people fell victim to some angry,greedy elements who impersonated me or my representatives. The
same people, as we have come to know, went as far as creating fake
accounts in my name to dupe people. How did you come about the UNILAG mess? Basically, the police just called us to inform us of the
development. We can’t really give full details because we were invited
to come to the police station and we went as law abiding citizens. When
we got there, we gave our own statement as well as the students. But we
really can’t say anything now until the police have done their proper
investigations. But with the details on ground, what we want you to know
is that the so-called Wizkid the students have been contacting is fake
and an impostor. It’s really not from me or from anybody around me. What
was your first reaction when you heard the news? I felt so bad and said why wont people change in this country of ours? I just
went to my Twitter account and tweeted the normal people to contact if
you want to book a show with Wizkid. Let’s be realistic. Everybody saw
my hustle and watched me grow. When I dropped “Holla Your Boy”, I was
much younger and wasn’t charging up to N5 million for shows. This is
just playing out and it is simple. So, how much do you charge now? N5
million is okay for my show. But let’s just put things right. It is so
bad to my company’s name and my name as well. That is why I decided to
open up on the issue.
There is this rumour that you dumped EME?
I have just
released an album in collaboration with Wizkid and EME. “Starboy” is my
new company, EME is still there for me. “Starboy” is Wizkid’s new record
label and I have a couple of producers that are working with me in the
new company. Definitely, we are working with a lot of people. Banky W
and I, started way back. Our dreams have always been to build an empire,
to help more people and give them that platform to showcase their
talents. And all these dreams cannot happen only with one person. So, we
have to branch out and reach out to more people. The industry is really
big and there are more than 5 million kids out there roaming about the
street and looking for a platform to showcase their talents. We want to
give them the platform to do that. So, as you can see, everyone can
contribute to that. Now that “Starboy” has started, we thank God, we are
doing well. Anybody can start up something. That is just what we are
trying to do with EME.
Have you released the track list of your latest album?
Yes, I have done
that. I featured good,perfect musicians like Olamide, D’banj and Banky W. The album is ready right
now. But we are just putting some finishing touches to it. We will be
having a listening party of the album very soon and we are going to
announce that as soon as it is ready. We are planning for that. The
album is coming out very strong and I thank God that I have put all the
necessary things in place. I have a very strong belief that the album is
going to win awards. There is this rumour making the rounds that you
have replaced your accidented Porsche car. Is it true? Yes, that is
absolutely true. We thank God for that. We thank Him for sparing my
life. This is not the first time I’ve had such an encounter. That
doesn’t mean I am a freak, but I needed to be mobile. I was moving
around with a taxi all through the duration of the accident which is not
proper.
