Stevie Wonder will be moving to Africa, according to Fox News.

“I want to see this nation smile again and I want to see it before I leave … to move to Ghana,” said Wonder.

“I don’t want to see my children’s children’s children have to say, ‘Oh, please like me, please, please respect me, please know that I’m important, please value me.'”

“Since I have been released from the hospital, the nurses have made sure I’ve taken my medicine on time and I’m going to do it for as long as I have to, even if it is the rest of my life. I feel great. My voice feels great,” he said at the October conference, according to The Associated Press. “I feel like I’m about 40 right now and I just thank everyone for the prayers and the love.”

“And for all of the people that have been listening to these rumors, listen, if I’m feeling some kind of way, I’ll let you know,” he added. “We don’t want to have misinformation. I am alive and well.”

Stevie Wonder has plans to move on.
In 1994, the “Superstition” singer told a Washington gathering of the International Association of African American Music that he had grown fond of Ghana while visiting.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, he said he feels that “there’s more of a sense of community there.”

Wonder was born in Michigan in 1950 and grew up to become a Motown music star and pioneer despite being blind.
