His mother is seen as highly pivotal to Wizkid's success as a global superstar. She was even often seen supporting her son's music career by attending his concerts on occasions. The singer himself described her as a massive support in his song Joy.
The notable lyrics say, "When I was a little boy mama told me, 'My boy chase your dreams and keep believing, and the sky will be your beginning."
