Despite what you might think, Alhaji Muniru Olatunji Balogun has never been a rich man. He and his three wives lived in the residential area of Lagos, and he tried to give the best he could to his children. However, even the best he could give could not amount to be called an empire, as he sometimes struggle to support his large family.
To be fair, if Mr. Balogun was any stricter, there might have been no empire to begin with. As Wizkid started his career very young, his father was not very happy that his son strayed from the academic path. He was really upset when his son dropped out of the university to pursue his music career.
However, when Wizkid’s career soared, his father stopped being against it. We wonder, what could have changed his mind: millions of fans or millions of naira?
Last year, it was reported that Wizkid has bought a very expensive house for his parents in the prestigious Lekki neighbourhood of Lagos. There are many speculations about its cost, but there are no trustworthy sources. What is certain – the house and the furnishings are very luxurious and expensive. Wizkid did not spare any cost on his parents’ future home.
The house on Tafawa Balewa Street, a five-bedroom bungalow, has been a dream of Wizkid’s for quite a while. In his song called Jaiye Jaiye, he promised his parents to buy them a house. And he finally did it.
