Why I Can Never Feel Like A Successful Artiste – Wizkid

Despite surfing the global music trends and bagging several local and international awards in over 10 years of his career, Afrobeats star, Wizkid, says he doesn’t think he is an accomplished artiste.

The hitmaker spoke extensively about his burgeoning music career and the bigger moves he expected to take in the future in an interview with 10 Magazine.

When asked about things he still planned to achieve as an entertainer of his calibre, the self-acclaimed Big Wiz stated that he didn’t feel “accomplished” despite the heights he has attained.

“I’m an up-and-coming artist,” he replied. “I don’t think I will ever feel like an accomplished artist or person, because I see life so different, you know? I still have a lot of work to do,” he said.

The Grammy star, however, didn’t think twice to brag about the impact of the Afrobeats genre on the present worldwide music landscape while simultaneously making fun of rappers.

“Afrobeats is the new pop. I sold two million copies in America off of one song! Even some American artists don’t have a diamond record. If I’m being honest, I don’t listen to any other genre of music anymore.”

“I don’t listen to rap. That shit is boring to me. It’s dead now. It’s tired. These guys do the same shit, rap on the same beats, same flows.
