“I hope that every artist from Africa gets to tell their story like this. Because I’m not the only one from that hustle, we all came from there. I feel like everyone deserves the chance to tell their story like this,” Wizkid said.

Despite acknowledging challenges in governance, the singer remains optimistic about Africa’s potential, especially in the creative space.

“I always wish for more success for the whole culture; from music to film to sports. And I wish for better government. I’m just a very positive human being regardless of anything. I wish the best for everyone making amazing music and amazing art from Africa,” he added.
