Afrobeats superstar Wizkid's first son, Boluwatife Balogun, widely recognized as Champz, has become a trending topic on social media following the emergence of a video showing him delivering a poised and articulate speech at a TEDx event. The presentation took place at TEDxGrange School in Lagos during a Children's Day celebration themed "The Edge of Possible."
Speech Highlights
In the now-viral clip posted on his Instagram page, Boluwatife stood confidently before his peers, speaking with calm assurance as he reflected on fear, determination, and self-belief. He said, "What is the impossible? We call something impossible because it has never been done before. God is always by my side. Before I came up here, I was praying to myself, 'God, please give me the confidence to overcome the nervousness I am facing.'" He continued, "I am going to make the impossible possible. Who are you to tell me I won't succeed? Rome was not built in a day; don't expect all your dreams to be achieved at once. You have to be ready to take losses because in life, not everything goes according to plan. And when you take a loss, you plan how to get back up and come back stronger."
Public Reaction
Since the video began circulating, it has drawn widespread praise from fans and observers. Many commended his clarity of thought, confidence, and maturity, while others highlighted the values reflected in his delivery, crediting his upbringing and support system. The moment has further intensified public interest in the young Balogun, whose occasional online appearances continue to attract attention despite Wizkid's preference for keeping family life private.
