I wish for a better government – Wizkid

Afrobeats sensation Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has expressed his desire for improved leadership in Nigeria and across Africa.

Speaking at the premiere of his documentary, “Wizkid: Long Live Lagos,” at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on Friday, the Starboy boss highlighted governance as a crucial area where African nations need progress.

Wizkid also urged fellow African creatives to tell their stories, noting that despite the challenges of poor governance, he remains optimistic about the continent’s future.

He said, “I hope that every artist from Africa gets to tell their story like this. Because I’m not the only one from that hustle, we all came from there. I feel like everyone deserves the chance to tell their story like this.

“I always wish for more success for the whole culture; from music to film to sports. And I wish for better government. I’m just a very positive human being regardless of any thing. I wish the best for everyone making amazing music and amazing art from Africa.”
