“My First Son, BoluwaTife Changed My Entire Life…” – Wizkid Reveals On Father’s Day

Music Star, Wizkid has shared how his life changed after he welcomed his first child, Boluwatife at 21.

Speaking in a recent interview with Native Magazine on Father’s Day, Skepta and Wizkid shared their experiences of fatherhood after venturing into it at a young age.

According to Big Wiz, his life took a good turn after he received a call that he was having a son with his first baby mama, Shola. He disclosed that he immediately had to abandon his partying ways, hustle more, and he had to grow up faster to become the best dad for Tife.

Wizkid also shared that it wasn’t easy at first, but whenever he looked at his kid(s), that they motivate him to be a better version of himself and that’s where all the blessings are.

“Tobi: From your perspective as a musician, how has fatherhood affected you, or changed the way you approach things, even creatively?

Skepta: I don’t know, it’s a game changer in so many ways but I feel like fatherhood reinforced what I already knew. You know, as Wiz is, we’re the kind of people that everyone around us is good, you know what I’m saying? If you come around us, you’re good. So, you know, when it’s your blood now, it’s just that extra special person to give your energy to. Before, I was a bit confused as to why everywhere I go, I’m “big bro.” Even people older than me would call me big bro.

Wizkid chuckles

Skepta: How comes I keep taking on that position? But I get that [now]. We’re just blessed with that kind of energy and we’re always going to look after people because of the way we’ve grown up; it was hard. We come from mad places, if we can give to others, we will. So with the fatherhood ting now, it’s just a blessing in the sense that at least every time I step out of my house, if I’m staying in the studio till stupid o’clock, I can look and know that it’s for someone that’s my blood.

Wizkid: Facts

Skepta: It makes it worth it, man. It makes all the hours worth it.

Wizkid: Facts man, yeah. He’s said it all. I had my first child when I was 21, so I kind of had to be 30 years old immediately. Fatherhood just puts everything into perspective. We’re young, we’re all moving fast in a world where you’re just trying to create your own lane. You don’t really know where everything is going to go, so when your kid comes, you realise that this is the essence of everything, you know? From the first time I got that call that I was having my first son, I changed the way I move, the way I hustled. Everything changed. That was when I actually started putting everything together. Before, I was just all over the place – with niggas, in the studio, [in] hotels – mad life. But when you get a kid, that’s the blessing, it’s just in front of you. It helps you man; it changes you and everything“. Source NATIVE
