Ogudu announced this in a statement on her X (previously Twitter) account on Tuesday. She explained that the choice was taken because of her son’s age and the necessity of putting his growth ahead of early exposure to live performances.

“We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the numerous show invites and for taking Champz into consideration. We’re now putting development ahead of live performances due to his age, therefore we’ve had to turn down show bookings. She wrote, “We sincerely appreciate your interest and understanding.”

Using a well-known proverb to demonstrate their approach, the mother of one emphasized that they were taking a cautious approach to developing the 14-year-old’s burgeoning music career.

You walk before you run, as the phrase goes. We’re building deliberately and gradually, and we anticipate more chances when the time is appropriate,” Ogudu continued.

However, she revealed that Champz would release new songs in 2026, hinting at intriguing future prospects.

Above all, we’re looking forward to new songs in 2026. “Stay tuned,” the post said.

Boluwatife, the eldest son of Grammy-winning musician Wizkid, has expressed interest in pursuing his father’s musical career, as evidenced by the sporadic social media posts of him performing and freestyle.

Since releasing his debut EP, Champion’s Arrival, in November 2025, the young artist has gained a sizable social media following.
