Wizkid Celebrates His Lagos Legacy with Family at Tribeca Film Festival Premiere

New York City’s Tribeca Film Festival witnessed a special moment as Afrobeats icon Wizkid premiered his documentary “Wizkid: Long Live Lagos” with partner Jada Pollock and their young daughter by his side. The family made a striking impression on the red carpet—Wizkid in a crisp white ensemble, Pollock in a pink and white tie-dye dress with bold red sunglasses, and their daughter mirroring her father’s style in a miniature white outfit. Their coordinated appearance highlighted the personal significance of this project for the superstar.
More Than a Music Documentary
Directed by Karam Gill, the 83-minute film goes beyond a standard artist biography. It artfully blends Wizkid’s rise to fame with the spirit of Lagos, the city that shaped him. Viewers are treated to intimate behind-the-scenes footage, including studio sessions and personal reflections, alongside electrifying clips from his historic 2024 performance at London’s Tottenham Stadium, a defining moment for Afrobeats on the global stage.
The documentary also serves as a portrait of Lagos itself, capturing its vibrant culture and complexities. Through Wizkid’s journey, the film explores how the city’s energy, struggles, and resilience have influenced his music and worldview.

Tems Claims Her Crown at Billboard Global Power Players Event

When Tems accepted the Diamond Award at the Billboard Global Power Players ceremony in London, it wasn’t just another trophy, it was a milestone. The Nigerian artist, whose sound has reshaped the global music landscape, stood proudly as the industry honored not just her talent, but the cultural wave she represents. And true to form, she did it with the same effortless magnetism that defines her career.
Dressed in a sky-blue dress—sculpted, sleek, and subtly daring. The dress, from Schiaparelli’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection had Tems embodying the confidence of an artist who’s learned to own her space. The gown’s deep sweetheart neckline and off-shoulder sleeves framed her silhouette with understated elegance, while a bold, twisted fabric braid running down the front added just enough edge to remind everyone: she plays by her own rules.

But the night wasn’t about the outfit. It was about the recognition—a moment Tems acknowledged with characteristic grace.
“Being African and a musician is a whole new world,and Billboard has championed not just our music, but the culture behind it.”
Her words cut to the heart of why this award matters. From Lagos to London, Tems has spent years bending genres, blending influences, and proving that African artists don’t need to conform to global expectations—they can redefine them. The Diamond Award isn’t just a celebration of her success; it’s a signal that the industry is finally catching up.

Tems
Even her styling whispered quiet rebellion. Her hair, softly curled by Yluxe, and her warm, bronzed makeup by Kayla Perez, kept the focus on her presence rather than flashy theatrics. Because when you’re making history, you don’t need gimmicks, you just need to be seen.
Surely, as the applause echoed through the room, one thing was clear: Tems wasn’t just collecting an award. She was claiming her place in the story of music. And if this night was any indication, she’s only just begun.
