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.

A Glimpse at Simi Drey’s Family Life Through Her Lens
Simi Drey has built much of her public identity around work; television, radio, presenting, acting, and hosting different cultural conversations. But the images she recently shared on her Instagram page offer something more direct: a look into the part of her life that is not always on display.

The photographs are simple. She is seated on soft white drapery, dressed in a blush pink halter dress, holding her daughter who wears a matching pastel dress. The setting is clean and minimal, with a few flowers in glass vases. There is no heavy styling. The focus is on closeness. The way her daughter leans into her. The way she looks back at her daughter. It is an everyday form of connection that usually lives outside the shot.

In another image, her husband sits beside her with their daughter settled comfortably between them. Nothing about their posture looks arranged. They sit close in a way that suggests routine, not presentation. They look like people who know each other’s rhythms. She captioned the post with a brief line about realizing her daughter is now one year old. The tone was straightforward, almost matter of fact. Not a milestone announcement designed to draw attention, but simply an acknowledgment of time passing. It matched the images: steady, present, and without performance.

Simi Drey – Instagram
Simi has previously mentioned in interviews that her childhood involved distance between her and her father, who remained in Nigeria while she and her siblings grew up in London. That background influences how she approaches parenting today, particularly the value she places on being around in practical, everyday ways. The images she shared reflect that approach. She is there in the small details, engaged and steady, not performing the role but simply living it.

The final image shifts tone slightly. Simi wears a black dress and holds her daughter close. Her expression is calm and focused. It is not shaped for reaction or made to communicate anything beyond what is present in the moment. It feels like something that would exist whether or not the camera was there.
Simi’s professional life often requires visibility and public presence, but these photographs do not function as content in that sense. They read more like documentation. A record of this point in her life. There is no attempt to shape them into a statement or a lesson. They are simply images of a woman with her family, moving through her day.
The photos do not attempt to define her story. They simply show where she is right now.

Burna Boy’s entrance on The Jennifer Hudson Show carried a warmth that needed no translation. The greeting, heartfelt, captured the essence of how Burna connects with people through energy that feels both personal and national.

As he stepped out behind the curtain through the Spirit Tunnel, studio staff clapped and cheered, greeting the “African Giant” with “Ekabo,” the Yoruba word for welcome. “Ekabo! Ekabo! We got Burna Boy in the J-Hudd Tunnel-oh!” Turning what’s usually a routine celebrity entrance into a proud nod to his roots.
Dressed in a dark, finely tailored long-collared shirt with a silver lapel pin, wide-legged trousers, and his signature sunglasses, he moved steadily through the tunnel, returning smiles and gestures while acknowledging their greeting along the way.

In her post, Stephanie revealed that the journey to this moment took time and faith. “After five years of waiting, praying, and hoping, our August visitor finally arrived,” she wrote, introducing her newborn daughter, Morayo Anaya Olabisi Abisola Anjolaoluwa. The caption was brief, heartfelt, sincere, and filled with gratitude.
The photos she shared were simple yet tender: a sleeping baby wrapped in white, her tiny hand resting beside a nameplate. It was a quiet announcement that reflected how deeply personal the moment was for the Cokers.

Her husband, Olumide Aderinokun, also shared the good news, describing their new daughter as a blessing that came at the perfect time. The couple, who married in 2016, welcomed their first child, Ariella, in 2019.

For Stephanie, this moment goes beyond family growth. It represents patience, endurance, and the quiet strength that comes from holding on to hope.
Welcome, baby Morayo.
