As for the musicians’ work in ‘Glorious Five,’ the guys certainly didn’t grab the stars. The gospel group didn’t release hits, at last ‘Glorious Five’ was disintegrated. Wizkid had ambitions for a solo career. By the way, when Wizkid sang gospel songs, he had a stage name Lil’Prince.
Wizkid personal life
The rumors say that Wizkid has three sons. But less reliable information is available only about one of his child. In 2010, (some sources indicate 2011), Oluwanishola Ogudugu gave birth to Boluwatife Balogun. With simple calculations, we can determine that a child was born when the musician was only 20 years old. No wonder he wasn’t in a hurry to take on parental responsibilities. The singer for a long time denied his paternity. Eventually, in 2013, he recognized the boy. Now he takes part in the son’s life.
As for the other two kids, from time to time on the Internet some information and video about the boys and baby moms often come up.
