Jada Pollock, the partner and manager of Nigerian music sensation Wizkid, has spoken out against the societal narratives that often surround her life and relationship.
In an Instagram post, she emphasised her focus on raising her children and nurturing a balanced relationship.
“Society and the internet often push certain narratives, but raising my kids and nurturing a balanced, healthy relationship has always been my priority,” Pollock shared. She reflected on the importance of living life according to one’s own timeline, stating, “Our hearts know when the time is right, and nothing is predetermined – it’s all about God’s timing”.
This message comes after Pollock attended a friend’s wedding, where she caught the bouquet.
Pollock has been vocal about the challenges she faces as a mother and entrepreneur. In the past, she has spoken about the difficulties of breastfeeding and the importance of acknowledging the hard work that goes into motherhood. She has also addressed the tendency for people to undermine her professional accomplishments, particularly in relation to her partnership with Wizkid.
When Wizkid won a Grammy, Pollock wrote a statement about the global rise of Afrobeat. However, many media outlets chose to focus on her relationship with the singer, labeling her as “Wizkid’s baby mama” and overlooking her role as a talent manager and entrepreneur.
Pollock and Wizkid’s relationship has experienced its share of challenges. In 2023, the couple hinted at a breakup after Wizkid revealed he was single and ready to find love again. However, they later reconciled, and Wizkid has since showered Pollock with lavish gifts, including a Land Rover and an extravagant 40th birthday celebration.
