Wizkid speaks with Punch’s ’NONYE BEN-NWANKWO about his career and lifestyle

About my career
Although I am hardworking, I would not be where I am today if God had not made it possible. It has been hard work all the way. I am just thankful to God. Initially, I prayed to God to bless my work. I have always believed in hard work. If you work hard, you will be rewarded. I just kept working hard and staying on my lane and doing my thing. I wouldn’t say I saw this success coming. But I kept praying to God to make it happen for me and He did. I don’t intend to stop now, just because I have achieved this ‘little’ success. I am just on my first album.  I am not fulfilled yet. I am not even close to getting fulfilled. I have not started anything. I feel that God has a big plan for me. I have to live up to expectation. That is why I am always working. My album is ready. I dropped my album last year. It is going to be another two years before I release another one. The new album reflects a more mature Wizkid at work. I will be involved in a number of collaborations.

Up and coming musician, Tiwa Bankole, who was allegedly stabbed by her landlord’s son, Tobi Obadina, has regained consciousness, even though she had thought she would die after losing so much blood.
Narrating what transpired between her and the accused, the recuperating singer who spoke while still on her hospital bed claimed Tobi has penchant for harassing his fathers’ tenants and goes scot-free but on that fateful day, she did nothing to warrant his wrath.
According to her, “When he was stabbing me, I started bleeding profusely and I thought I was going to die
.
Tobi said no one could arrest him and nothing would happen to him. Because his father is a retired police officer and his stepmother, a policewoman, he always gets away with his misdeeds,” she said.
