Jada Pollock, partner and manager of Nigerian music star Wizkid, has publicly expressed her discontent with being referred to as the singer’s “baby mama.”
In a recent interview with BET’s Queens of Music documentary, Jada emphasized her crutial role in shaping Wizkid’s career and legacy. She highlighted her achievements in managing his brand and contributing to his success.
Jada recounted an instance where Wizkid won a Grammy for “Brown Skin Girl,” and despite her crafting a statement celebrating the milestone, she was reduced to being called his “baby mama” in media reports.
She said,“I remember when Wizkid won a Grammy for Brown Skin Girl, I wrote a statement of the achievement of how far African music has come. They put that statement out and and the caption was Wizkid’s baby mama.
The narrative isn’t seen as you’re an entrepreneur, hardworking, businesswoman. I’m kind of more titled as Wizkid’s baby mama. Not only am I a mother, but I’ve been able to be a manager as well and help to build a great legacy and the result and the history of what I’ve done tells it all.”
Wizkid and Jada have been in a long-term relationship and have two children together. Jada has been instrumental in managing Wizkid’s career, helping him achieve international recognition.
Social media users have reacted to Jada’s statement, with some supporting her and others criticizing her for mixing business and personal relationship.
