Nigerian singer Wizkid has shared how being broke almost ruined his confidence as a young and upcoming artiste in the music industry.
In a video shared on Instagram on January 5, 2025, Wizkid recounted how people did not believe in him despite his talent and vision.
According to Wizkid, despite the life-troubling challenges he was battling, he remained focused on his vision, hoping that the universe would align in his favour.
“Being broke almost killed my confidence, but it never killed my dream. There was a time I had nothing but belief; no money, no connections, just hunger.
“I watched people doubt me because my bank balance didn’t match my ambition, but I learned early: money comes and goes, discipline stays,” he said.

The acclaimed musician further urged individuals battling similar challenges to stay focused and hope for the best.
According to the ‘Essence’ singer, panic makes one quit; hence, staying determined and consistent will help one achieve one’s goals.
“I focused on the craft when nobody was watching, while others were partying. I was building quietly. That season taught me patience. If you’re broke right now, don’t panic.
“Panic makes you quit. That pressure is shaping you. Stay focused. Your story is loading,” he added.
