Wizkid, a multi-talented Nigerian superstar, has revealed that late iconic singer, Bob Marley, has been a source of great inspiration to him.
While discussing his upcoming album, ‘More Love Less Ego’ in a recent interview with Guardian UK, the award-winning superstar said he intends to manage his ego.
Speaking on his aim for the next chapter of his life, the ace singer disclosed that he aims to live forever through his music like Bob Marley.
Wizkid maintained that his resolve to ensure he achieves the second aim was made stronger when he attended a Bob Marley musical play, ‘Get Up, Stand Up’.
He said;
“I want to live forever. Not physically, but for whatever I create to live forever
Big Wiz emphasized that watching the Marley musical play reaffirmed what he wanted for his life.
He said;
“I was like, ‘Yo, we’re watching a Bob Marley play and this guy died decades ago.
“I didn’t even know that he died at 36. He did so much at a young age. It just reaffirms what I do; I have to keep taking this to the highest heights.
“Because I know one day they’re definitely going to create a play about me.”
