Why Do Nigerians Assume Wizkid Is From A Poor Back Ground by Bookhub: 11:01pm On Dec 27, 2024
Wizkid family owns a house in surulere an expensive place in Lagos, they don't live on rent,wizkid went to Babcock university, as at 2011 when wizkid was a student the school fees was around 2milion naira . at the moment 2million is still a huge sum of money talkless of then,average famiies in Lagos enrol their children in higher institutions like unilag,yabatech, laspotech etc but wizkids parents wants him to go to a private school,we all know poor kids don't go to private higher institutions unless via scholarships.
I notice people call wizkid a poor boy only when they want to shade Davido Nigerians can be very sentimental.

Maybe I was wrong but lead city is Even more expensive than Babcock,just as you said even if banky wants to sponsor wizkids education he would not take him far from Lagos common sense.

It was for privacy

Wizkid was a yougstar then, he can't go to public school, infact he dropped out of lead city because the other students don't let him focus, they come to the window and point to him in class

He became a distraction and he was distracted too, so he dropped out

His father would have sent him to a public school, how many of his siblings went to private uni...

It was bankys doing...

I am a WIZKID fan, he said all this in an interview

Bro

Private uni students live on campus...

And no, they met in a studio and it started from friendship

Wizzys family had nothing to do with that
Wizzy was a studio rat at OJB Jezreel (RIP) Studio then, running errands to get free sessions back then.

You really don't know anything about this, you just using your imagination... Or making it up the way u thought it should be


I used to listen to a lot of radio bro...

Wizzy was in the same studio when tuface recorded grass to grace, he is friends with wande coal, upcoming artist who was actually a dancer. When wande was signed to Mohits, wizzy do follow him to Mohits house and was actually staying with him...

Nobody knew wizzy then.


If not Don jazzy would have signed him.

Op your topic appears to be full with many errors...

Leads isn't more expensive than Babcock.

You are right on your overall summary however. Wiz isn't from a poor family.

Slightly below middle class probably!

I learnt he attended Ijebu-Ode grammar school. All of them in that school are full of ego, they're always neat that, when you sit next to them on the bus,they avoid everyone. Not even the tip of their cloth will touch yours but the least of them in that school na book worm o. They're all smart, intelligent n disciplined. Up Jogs!!
