“No Blueprint for Me”: Wizkid Comments on Music Journey
Kehinde Adeleye
Nigerian singer Wizkid has sparked debate after claiming he had no blueprint while rising to fame, despite being discovered through Banky W’s imprint.
The Ojuelegba crooner made the remarks in a snippet of his upcoming HBO documentary Long Live Lagos.
“There was no blueprint for me. I had to build a structure for myself,” he stated.
The comment has triggered reactions on social media, with some fans arguing that it downplays Banky W’s role in his career and disrespects the contributions of veteran Nigerian musicians who paved the way for the current generation.
Elsewhere in the documentary, Wizkid acknowledged the influence of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti on his music journey.
“Fela Kuti was instrumental to why I believe I could really make music,” he said.
