Wizkid’s first baby mama rejects show invitations for son

Oluwanishola Ogudu, the first baby mama of Afrobeats star Wizkid, says she has been declining multiple show invitations for their son, Boluwatife Balogun — popularly known as Champz.

Ogudu revealed this in a post on her X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday, explaining that the decision is to protect the 14-year-old from early exposure to live performances while focusing on his growth and development.

“We want to say a big thank you for the countless show invitations and for considering Champz.

“Due to his age, we’re prioritising development over live performances for now and have had to decline bookings.

“We truly appreciate the interest and understanding,” she wrote.

She added that they are adopting a gradual approach to his music journey.

“As the saying goes, you walk before you run.

“We’re building patiently and intentionally and look forward to future opportunities when the timing is right,” Ogudu said.

Ogudu also hinted that new music from Champz is expected in 2026.

“Most importantly, we’re excited for new music coming in 2026. Stay tuned,” she added.

Boluwatife, Wizkid’s eldest child, has shown growing interest in music, with clips of him freestyling and recording occasionally shared online.

He has also attracted a sizable fan base following the release of his debut EP, Champion’s Arrival, in November 2025.
