Jada Pollock, renowned talent manager and the mother of Wizkid’s children, has opened up about the challenges of being reduced to the label of ‘baby mama’.
In a candid interview with BET UK, Jada expressed her frustration at being defined solely by her personal relationship with the globally acclaimed Afrobeat artist, Wizkid.
Jada recounted how her contributions to the music industry and Afrobeat movement were overshadowed by reductive narratives.
Furthermore, she recounted releasing a heartfelt statement celebrating the growth of Afrobeat following Wizkid’s Grammy win.
However, the media chose to focus on her relationship status.
Also, blogs headlining her statement as coming from “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’s baby mama,’” she recalled.
“It’s frustrating because the narrative doesn’t acknowledge that I’m an entrepreneur and a hardworking businesswoman. I’m not just a mother; I’m also a manager, and I’ve played a significant role in building a legacy.”
Jada emphasised that her professional journey and contributions to Wizkid’s career deserve recognition.
Beyond being a mother, she has managed the artist’s career.
Also, she fosters his rise to international stardom and contributing to the global recognition of Afrobeat.
