Early stage of my life, before the estimation of wizkid net worth today, when asked what I want to become, I’d say a doctor.
The answers I have mostly heard to the question are doctor, banker or lawyer; other professions too were named but those 3 topped the list.
Before Wizkid net worth became a popular topic, we sang a popular nursery rhyme when we were kids; sandalili …
More like we were been trained on how to answer the question we would be asked years later: “what do you want to become in life”?
Now I am wondering the lyrics of little Wizkid version of the “sandalili sandalili…” song.
I would not exactly call it strange nor would I marvel but I do laugh kinda when children answers are I want to “sa ise” or “be like Wizkid” and the likes.
Some when asked even pose with their plastic colour glasses and shine those milk teeth as they say they want to be like starboy when they grow up.
It dawned on me looking at this topic and thinking of what to write that the main reason they wanted to be like daddy yo was because of Wizkid’s net worth!
The ladies flaunt around him calling him daddy yo or wizzyboy in their feminine voice because they know to some extent what he is worth.
As in, imagine you having that kind Wizkid net worth!
