The Starboy boss disclosed his newfound career aspiration, expressing a desire to explore acting and engage in on-screen activities such as kissing scenes and gunplay. Wizkid shared this revelation through his Instagram story, where he wrote in Pidgin, “Shebi I tell una I one dey act film!…I just want dey kiss and shoot a gun for a movie. Daz all!!”

This revelation emerged shortly after Wizkid was spotted with renowned Nollywood filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, hinting at possible collaborations in the film industry.

The ‘Essence’ crooner, who initially declared a three-to-four-year hiatus, now contemplates extending it to six years. On his Instagram story, Wizkid shared, “Loving every bit of this holiday. Might extend to six years.”
