Talent manager, Jada Pollock, the mother of the children of Nigerian singer, Ayo Balogun, better known as Wizkid, has shared the challenges of being labelled a ‘baby mama’ despite her contribution to the musician’s career.
Naija News reports that Wizkid and Jada, who began dating in 2014, had their first child, Zion, in 2017 and welcomed another boy, AJ, in 2022.
In an interview with BET UK, Jada expressed her frustration about being defined solely by her relationship with Wizkid.
Jada recounted how she released a statement celebrating the growth of Afrobeat following the singer’s Grammy award win; unfortunately, blogs labelled her statement with “Wizkid’s baby mama,” which diminished her entrepreneurial efforts and dedication.
She said, “When Wizkid won a Grammy, I wrote a statement about how far Afrobeat has come. They published the statement, and the caption was “Wizkid baby mama.” The narrative does not recognise that you’re an entrepreneur and a hardworking businesswoman. I’m not only a mother but also a manager, and I’ve helped build a legacy.”
In related news, Nigerian singer, Skales, has claimed that his colleague and former record label mate, Wizkid, never liked him.
Naija News reports that the ‘Shake Body’ crooner, in a recent episode of the ‘Listen’ podcast, said he has always felt repelling energy from the ‘Starboy.’
He recounted his social media fallout with Wizkid, where the ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner insulted his father and mother.
Skales added that he had tried to make peace with Wizkid but remained adamant.
