Jada Pollock, the talented manager and mother of Wizkid’s children, has expressed her frustration over being reduced to just “Wizkid’s baby mama” and the challenges of having her identity defined solely by her relationship with the international star.
In a candid interview with BET UK on Tuesday, December 19, Jada shared her thoughts on how this label overshadows her personal and professional achievements. Recalling a particular incident after Wizkid’s Grammy win, she revealed her disappointment when her statement celebrating the growth of Afrobeat was overshadowed by the headline “Wizkid’s baby mama.”
“When Wizkid won a Grammy, I wrote a statement about how far Afrobeat has come. They published the statement, and the caption was ‘Wizkid baby mama.’ The narrative does not recognise that you’re an entrepreneur and a hardworking businesswoman. I’m not only a mother but also a manager, and I’ve helped build a legacy,” Jada explained.
Wizkid and Jada, who began dating in 2014, have two children together: their first son, Zion, born in 2017, and their second son, AJ, born in 2022.
