Wizkid, a popular Afrobeats singer, whose real name is Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, has spoken about how he feels when people underestimate his potential. During a recent Instagram live interview, he was asked how he deals with the pressure of proving himself in his music. According to Wizkid, the underestimation he receives from others is what motivates him to pursue his desires. He mentioned in a previous interview that he enjoys proving himself to those who have doubts about his ability. Wizkid has learned some tough lessons that have shaped him into the entrepreneur he is today, one of which is to never take no for an answer. When he started making music in Nigeria, he was the youngest person in the room, but he refused to let that stop him from pursuing his dreams. He also acknowledges the importance of having mentors like Mr. Tony Elemelu, who have given him valuable business tips, and he remains open-minded and diligent in his work. Despite being under constant pressure to prove himself, Wizkid says that he loves it when people underestimate him because it fuels him to work harder. His success is a result of his own decision to be excellent and to never compromise on the quality of his music, sound, or business. Hard work and persistence have been his keys to success.
