His family was not like that of many other Nigerians. His father whose name is Alhaji Muniru Olatunji Balogun had three wives and, what’s more interesting, his mother, Dolapo Jane balogun is a Christian and his father was Muslim. Wizkid had 12 sisters born by all his father’s wives. His mother’s faith, which he followed, led him to a local church where he sang already at the age of 11. His distinctive voice and the outgoing nature made him the lead singer in that church.

Before everyone knew Wizkid as a Starboy, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun (Wizkid’s true name) released several albums. He and his church friends started a boys’ band called “Glorious Five”. The band was followed by a small solo career when Ayodeji was known as Lil Prinz. He had a separate album under this stage name and the album consisted of 7 tracks.

At first, Wizkid’s father was very upset by the fact that his son never went into any academic path. However, his mother has always believed in him and said that his success was granted by God.

Wizkid’s relationships with his parents have always been warm and loving even though his father reused to move into a gorgeous mansion Wizkid bought for his parents in Lekki. It looked like Mr. Balogun appreciated his boy’s success but did not show much desire to be a part of it.

Wizkid already has three women who are mothers of his children. The first two babies seemed to be completely unexpected by the singer.

Two first baby moms had to resort to DNA tests to prove Wizkid that the children were his sons! Thank God, he accepted the third one without a loud scandal. Probably, it's age and his experience with the first two.

At the same time, even after all these scandals, Wizkid looks like he has turned out to be a good father. He posts pictures of him spending time with his children and it looks like he really enjoys being a father.

It’s hard to say, however, that Wizkid’s baby moms are in good terms with his family. Struggling for the recognition of her son, Binta Diallo (the second baby mom chronologically) has even claimed that her child has nothing to do with the Balogun family and that she doesn’t want Wizkid to post all those pictures on social media until he continues to pay his son’s support as due.

Now, there’s some gossip that he’s into a new romance with a new girl and fans are already trying to guess whether this one will remain with a baby after everything ends or not. Still, it looks like the Starboy is not going to get married any time soon, unless he meets somebody who can really steal his heart and soul.
