Award-winning artiste Wizkid has responded to the concerns raised by his fans and admirers following his recent appearance at an event.
The Grammy-winning singer attended the UK premiere of “Bob Marley: One Love” in London, where online videos depicted him looking somber.
Many fans expressed worry, noting his appearance seemed weary, and dull.
Some speculated that Wizkid may still be grappling with the loss of his beloved mother.
In response, Wizkid disclosed that he has felt different since his mother’s death, acknowledging a sense of disconnection from himself.
However, he promised that he will eventually rediscover his sense of self.
He likened his experience to that of a soldier, emphasizing his resilience in the face of adversity by stating his readiness to rebuff anyone encroaching on his personal space.
Wizkid concluded his message by expressing appreciation for his fans’ solidarity during his lowest moments, promising his return.
“Look in the mirror don’t feel myself. Mama left me and I lost myself.
Can’t wait to feel myself again! Life of a soldier! Military with it!
Until then I dey slap away for free so leave me
And I’m thankful y’all going through this phase with me. U seen me at my lowest now. When u see me back on my high no complain.
Expensive”.
Wizkid lost his mother in August 2023 and she was buried the following month.
Born on July 14, 1957, Jane is survived by her husband,, Muniru Olatunji Balogun, and four children.
