BET award-winning Nigerian afrobeat singer, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun known by stage name Wizkid, has described women as the God on earth.

According to the ‘Essence’ crooner the kind music he does is to celebrate women from all cultures, stressing that he was raised around strong women. He said this in a recent interview with Evening Standard UK.

“To me, women are God on earth. God is definitely a woman, for sure. What’s more powerful than creating a life? My music is here to make women feel good from all cultures. It celebrates them. They’re valued,” he said.

“I was raised around strong women, so it means I cater more for women with my sound, you know? Being raised by women made me understand their full range of emotions. It is a beautiful thing,” he added.
