Wizkid, a singer from Nigeria, has released a brand-new album titled “More Love, Less Ego.” It is the singer’s fifth studio album, and now during a recent interview with Apple Music, the extremely popular artist opens up about success and being a performer, as well as why he chose the album’s title, “More Love, Less Ego.” Here are Wizkid’s comments.
Standing on stage hours before he was meant to perform, Wizkid was asked: “When you perform, the venue is going to be filled with the biggest Wizkid fans. What is that person’s experience going to feel like?” He responded:
This is like one of my biggest dreams: it’s to actually come and watch a Wizkid show like this but I can’t.
“You want to be here and see what they see? You want to have an out-of-body experience?”
I really want to. I want to find out why they keep coming to my show. I’m trying to experience it myself.
“You don’t know what it is?”
I don’t know but I know every time I’m up there [on stage], it’s magical. I want the people that come and watch me to feel a lot of love, a lot of love in their heart. That’s what I want them to feel.
“You said that the success that came to you last year did not surprise you. Is that part of a winner’s mentality?”

100 percent. If you put in work, there is no way you’re ever going to lose. Anything you put your mind to and you’re consistently working on that thing, you’re showing up every time at the right time, you’re never gonna lose. Like how are you going to lose?
“How did you land on the title More Love, Less Ego?”
It’s part of my life. The last one was “Made in Lagos”, that’s where I’m from. You already know where I’m from, so now it’s just to show you what the world needs at this time right now in this moment. It’s a whole lot of love.
“I feel that means that you need more love?”
I have a lot of love man. I’ve got four kids man, what more do you need? [laughs]. When my son kisses me at night good night or when he’s going to school you know, that feels my heart. You can’t even buy that kind of love. That’s all that matters. That’s pretty much what I’m trying to say. This is pretty much all I live for. My kids, my happiness, me taking care of people close to me, my friends, spreading a lot of love just doing what I do best and making amazing music. That is the most important thing in my life.
