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.
