Why I wish to ‘live forever’ – Singer, Wizkid reveals intention

Grammy winner, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun professionally known as Wizkid has revealed his intention to live forever.

Speaking in a recent interview, Wizkid said along with managing his ego, he aims to ‘live forever’, not literally but through his works.

According to Wizkid, his resolve to ensure he achieves his aim was made even firmer when he attended a musical play, ‘Get Up, Stand Up’ for one of his idols, Bob Marley. In Wizzy’s words:

“Alongside managing my ego, one other aim for this new chapter is to live forever. “Not physically, but for whatever I create to live forever.

“I recently went to see Bob Marley musical, ‘Get Up, Stand Up!’ I was like, ‘Yo, we’re watching a Bob Marley play and this guy died decades ago.’

“I didn’t even know that he died at 36. He did so much at a young age. It just reaffirms what I do; I have to keep taking this to the highest heights. Because I know one day they’re definitely going to create a play about me.”
