The Grammy nominated singer, made the revelation during an Instagram Live session with the Tony Elumelu Foundation on Wednesday.
Starboy Entertainment was founded by Wizkid, born Ayodeji Balogun in 2013 alongside other music producers including Maleek Berry.
The record label has become a force to reckon with since then.
“I started that business (Starboy Entertainment) with my friends. We literally started it in my living room. We didn’t even have much. I can’t remember what we had altogether then. We decided to do a photoshoot the same day after we spoke about it and went for it because we were so determined,” he said.
“That was the first time a record label would be starting in Africa. We just had producers on the label. I just want to thank my brothers for believing in me and trusting me enough.”
Speaking on his career strides as a musician, the father of three was informed by his quest to take on challenges.
Wizkid also noted that he loves it when people “underestimate him” because that fuels him.
“That fuels me. I love it when people underestimate me because it motivates me to show them that l can.”
