Wizkid shares how hanging around grown people hastened his growth
-
Wizkid claims that having older friends helped him develop.
Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has revealed that he prefers to associate with older people and attributes his personal development to doing so.
Biz Wiz used the example of his best friend, who was older than 40 when he was 11, to support his claim.
Wiz said in an interview with 10 Magazine Australia that growing up as the only guy in a household of 12 siblings had left him with a divided personality both inside and outside the house.
“I was mad,” he said of himself in childhood, eyes glinting. “But I was quiet at home. You know, growing up as a man, I can’t really talk to my sisters about certain things and have certain conversations.”

Starboy looked to the street of Ojuelegba where you grew up, hanging out with older people in his hood.
According to him: “When I was 11 my best friend was, like, 40.
“He used to own a business down my street, and every time I’d come back from school I’d go sit with him, help him sell some stuff, chill.
“I’d always tell my mom about him so she told me to bring him to the house.
“When I brought him she saw one old man and was like, ‘What’s going on here!?’ Just hanging around grown people, seeing how life works, really helped me grow [up] faster.”
