Wizkid gave fans more than just a documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival — he delivered a rare, emotional moment. The singer arrived hand-in-hand with his longtime partner Jada Pollock, but it was their baby girl, Morayo, who stole the entire spotlight.
Dressed in coordinated white outfits, the family of three graced the red carpet with quiet elegance. At one point, Wizkid cradled Morayo close, whispering to her as camera shutters clicked away — a soft, personal moment that had fans and photographers completely charmed.
“Long Live Lagos” Makes Bold Statement
The premiere of Wizkid: Long Live Lagos, directed by Karam Gill, marks the singer’s first major documentary. The film traces his journey from Lagos streets to global stardom, highlighting how his roots continue to shape his sound and vision.
After the screening, Wizkid joined the director and cinematographer for a Q&A, where he spoke about balancing fame, family, and the legacy he hopes to build for the next generation. “This isn’t just about music,” he said. “It’s about home.”
Lagos Energy Hits NYC
Beyond the music and family glow, the premiere carried a deeper cultural weight. The film was described as a “love letter to Lagos,” weaving visuals of the city’s energy with behind-the-scenes stories of Wizkid’s climb. The crowd — a mix of fans, creatives, and cultural critics — gave the screening a warm reception, many praising it as a defining moment for African storytelling on a global stage.
The Soft Side of Starboy
Wizkid has long been known for his laid-back charisma and chart-topping hits, but the Tribeca premiere revealed a different layer — one of vulnerability, heritage, and intentional fatherhood. With Morayo gently tugging at his collar and Jada glowing at his side, the Starboy reminded everyone that even global icons are, at their core, just people with roots, dreams, and babies to carry.
In Summary
Wizkid didn’t just premiere a documentary — he offered a snapshot of his world: music, Lagos pride, and a quiet love wrapped in white linen on a red carpet in New York. And judging by the smiles and standing ovation, the world was ready for it.
