Grammy-winning Afrobeats superstar Wizkid recently shared insights into what could have been an alternate career path for him if music hadn’t worked out.

In a candid reflection, the Nigerian music icon revealed that football would have been his chosen profession, given his deep passion for the sport.

Wizkid, who once played on his school’s football team, admitted that his love for football was strong enough that it could have shaped his future. "If I wasn’t doing music, I would be playing football. I play football real good; I used to be in my school team," he said, highlighting his skills on the pitch.

However, the demanding discipline of football, particularly the early morning training sessions, did not align with his personality. Wizkid confessed that his impatience and dislike for those early routines led him to focus more on music, a decision that ultimately paved the way for his global success.

Despite choosing a different path, Wizkid’s respect for football and the discipline required to excel in the sport remains strong. His comments reflect an admiration for the dedication and hard work that professional athletes put into their craft.

In addition to discussing his love for football, Wizkid also touched on his unconventional approach to security. Unlike many celebrities who travel with bodyguards, Wizkid prefers to rely on his close-knit management team, whom he considers family. This unique approach underscores his preference for surrounding himself with trusted individuals rather than traditional security measures.
