Grammy-winning Afrobeats superstar Wizkid recently opened up about his passion for football, revealing that if his music career hadn’t taken off, he would have pursued a career in the sport.

The Nigerian music icon expressed his admiration for the discipline and commitment required to succeed in football, a sport he once actively participated in during his school years.

Reflecting on his early days, Wizkid shared, “If I wasn’t doing music, I would be playing football, I play football real good, I used to be in my school team.” Despite his talent on the field, the superstar admitted that his impatience and aversion to early morning training sessions ultimately shifted his focus to music.

While his love for football remains strong, Wizkid has clearly found his true calling in music. Nonetheless, his respect for the sport and the dedication it demands continues to resonate with him.
