Jada Pollock, who is expecting her third child with the acclaimed singer Wizkid, has addressed the label of “baby mama” that has been applied to her.
In a recent interview with BET UK, the talent manager expressed her frustration regarding the perception of her identity. She recounted how, following Wizkid’s Grammy win, she issued a statement celebrating the progress of Afrobeat, only to be referred to by various blogs as “Wizkid’s baby mama.”
Jada emphasized that such labels diminish her achievements and fail to recognize her as a dedicated entrepreneur and business professional.
She asserted that her role extends beyond motherhood; she is also a manager who has played a significant part in establishing a lasting legacy.
“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, and I’ve helped build a legacy”.
