American talent manager Jada Pollock, better known as Jada P, has revealed in her recent interview with BET UK that she is more than singer Wizkid’s babymama, as the media used to title her.
Jada P, who is currently heavily pregnant, expressed that her achievements as an entrepreneur and a hardworking professional in the music industry have often been overlooked by many people ever since she became known as the mother of Wizkid’s children.
The mother of two boys stated that she had managed many international artists like Chris Brown, Wizkid, & Skyla Tyla. She emphasized being a dedicated businesswoman and music manager who actively contributed to building a legacy.
In her words, “When Wizkid won a Grammy, I wrote a statement about how far afrobeat has come. They put the statement out, and the caption was “Wizkid baby mama.” The narrative is not seen as you’re an entrepreneur and hardworking businesswoman. I’m not only a mother but also a manager, who has actively contributed to building a legacy.”
“Some of the artists I have managed are Chris Brown, Wizkid & Skyla Tyla etc.”
Watch her interview below:
Jada Pollock first met Wizkid in 2012 while she was managing Akon. Under Jada’s management, Wizkid, whose real name is Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, experienced significant career growth. Their professional relationship blossomed into friendship and eventually turned into love.
The couple made their relationship public in 2014 and welcomed their first son, Zion Ayo-Balogun, on October 28, 2017. Five years later, on August 1, 2022, they celebrated the birth of their second son, AJ. Now expecting another child, Jada Pollock revealed her baby bump in an Instagram post in August 2024.
