Afrobeats star Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has said he wishes for Nigeria and the African continent to be better governed.
Speaking at the premiere of his documentary “Wizkid: Long Live Lagos” at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on Friday, the Starboy boss emphasised that governance is one of the key areas he hopes African countries will get right.
He encouraged other African creatives to share their stories, stressing that he has high hopes for the continent despite poor governance.
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.”
