Wizkid Reveals He Recorded All His Hits While Sitting Down: A Look at His Low-Key Approach

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Wizkid, born Ayodeji Balogun, recently shared a fascinating tidbit about his music-making process. In a viral video, Wizkid revealed that he recorded all his major hit songs while sitting down, attributing his success to a relaxed approach.

Wizkid’s casual style is a hallmark of his persona, and he reflected on this in the video, saying, “All my biggest songs from ‘Holla At Your Boy’ to ‘Soco,’ ‘Joro,’ ‘Ojuelegba,’ I recorded them sitting down.” This laid-back attitude extends to his approach to music promotion and media engagements.

The ‘Essence’ hitmaker confessed that he doesn’t stress himself over creating hits. “You [P2J] know how my things be for Lagos. You’ve been in my house. You know what I do. I’m chilling. You get me, no stress,” Wizkid said, emphasizing his relaxed approach to music production.

Wizkid also expressed his aversion to traditional promotional activities and media interviews. “You see promo, I hate doing that sht. You know press, I hate doing all that sht, bro. I know exactly what the people want,” he explained. His sentiment underscores his preference for focusing on the music rather than the commercial aspects of his career.

According to Wizkid, his producer P2J is one of the few people who truly understands his creative process. “P2J is the only n*gga that understands me. All we have to do is turn on the mic,” Wizkid said, highlighting the trust and synergy between them.

The singer also touched on the globalized nature of the music industry, noting that artists today have more control over their work. “The amazing thing is that the world is now globalized, you don’t need anyone to lie to you,” he added, reflecting on how the industry has evolved.

Wizkid’s candid remarks offer a glimpse into his distinctive approach to music and fame. His relaxed, no-fuss attitude towards recording and promotion continues to resonate with fans, reinforcing his status as one of the leading figures in the global music scene.
