Afrobeat singer, Ayo Balogun, aka Wizkid, has given reasons he changed his lyrics to milder ones in his latest projects.
Wizki, in an interview with Guardian Uk, said he is aware that his children will grow up to listen to his songs one day and he wants to make the best for them so they can be proud.
He said, “Now I am more careful with what I put in my songs because my kids listen to my songs.”
The Grammy award winner also stated that he wants to be remembered for good songs and legendary actions.
Wizkid made an example with how Bob Marley is being vastly appreciated and celebrated.
“Alongside managing my ego, one other aim for this new chapter is to live forever. I recently went to see Bob Marley’s musical, ‘Get Up, Stand Up!’ I was like, ‘Yo, we’re watching a Bob Marley play, and this guy died decades ago’.
“Bob Marley did so much at a young age I didn’t even know that he died at 36. It just reaffirms what I do, and I have to keep taking this to the highest heights. Because I know one day, they are definitely going to create a play about me.”
