In what fans are calling a “Starboy prophecy come true,” Wizkid’s first son, Boluwatife Balogun, appears to be stepping into his father’s legendary footsteps, and the internet can’t stop talking about it.
It seems Wizkid’s prophecy about his first son, Boluwatife Balogun, may finally be coming true. Nearly a decade after the Afrobeats superstar playfully predicted that his son might follow in his musical footsteps, young Tife appears ready to step into the limelight.
A recently resurfaced throwback clip shows a younger Wizkid joking during an interview that if his son ever became an artist, he’d sign him under his Starboy Entertainment label. “If my son ends up being an artist, that’s more money for me. I’ll just sign him to Starboy. Me and my son turn up,” Wizkid had said at the time.
Fast forward to 2025, and that lighthearted comment seems to be manifesting into reality. A new video making the rounds on social media shows Tife Balogun in a studio session, recording vocals for what fans believe will be his debut single.
In the short clip, the youngster, headphones on and fully focused, appears comfortable behind the mic, showing a glimpse of the confidence and charisma that made his father one of Africa’s biggest music exports.
Although no official details have been released about the track or a possible debut date, fans are already buzzing about the possibility of Tife officially joining Starboy Entertainment or even collaborating with Wizkid himself.
For many long-time fans, it’s a full-circle moment; the continuation of a musical dynasty that started in Surulere and grew into a global phenomenon. Whether or not Tife becomes the next Starboy, it is evident to say that the legacy is already in motion.
