\u201cI\u2019m a very spiritual human being. I know I make a lot of club records, but I feel like a pastor, really,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also noted that crime and music were the only two options for survival while growing up.<\/p>\n
\u201cMusic was more than a hobby for me, more than a talent. It was my escape. I was in the hood. It was either [music] or turn to crime. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t joke with music,\u201d Wizkid said.<\/p>\n
Machala also recounted that his parents wanted him to be a lawyer or doctor and how difficult it was to make music instead of what his parents wanted.<\/p>\n
Wiz explained: \u201cMy parents wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor. That was a very hard conversation to have when I said I wanted to make music. I had to just prove [myself] to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
