Wizkid Shuts Down Tribeca Red Carpet with Daughter & Jada Pollock at “Long Live Lagos” World Premiere

New York, NY — June 5, 2025

Global music icon Wizkid made a striking entrance at the world premiere of his new documentary, “Wizkid: Long Live Lagos,” at the Tribeca Film Festival last night — and he wasn’t alone. The Afrobeats superstar arrived alongside longtime partner Jada Pollock and their daughter, turning the red carpet into a proud family affair that lit up social media.

The documentary, which dives deep into Wizkid’s journey from Surulere to sold-out arenas, is a love letter to Lagos, the city that raised him and remains the pulse behind his global sound. From never-before-seen archival footage to behind-the-scenes reflections, Long Live Lagos offers fans and newcomers a rare glimpse into the life, legacy, and cultural vision of one of Africa’s most influential artists.

“Wizkid continues to carry Lagos—and the culture—everywhere he goes, it’s more than music…It’s legacy.”

With the screening held at Manhattan’s iconic Tribeca Festival, the moment marked another major milestone in the global rise of African storytelling. The audience response? A standing ovation. And the visuals from the red carpet? Already going viral.

Wizkid’s calm confidence, paired with his family’s elegant appearance, made the night not just about the music or the movie—but about legacy, fatherhood, and the power of representation.

As African cinema, music, and fashion continue to cross borders and break ceilings, Long Live Lagos arrives right on time.
