Nigerian music sensation Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, and his little daughter, stole the spotlight during an event.
The viral moment unfolded on the red carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, where the singer premiered his documentary Wizkid: Long Live Lagos. Donning matching white outfits with his daughter, Wizkid created an emotional and adorable scene that quickly became the talk of social media, with fans praising the strong bond between the superstar and his child.
Wizkid, known not just for his global hits but also for keeping his personal life private, shares the child with his longtime partner and talent manager, Jada Pollock, fondly called Jada P. The couple, who have been together for several years, are parents to two children, although they have largely kept their family out of the public eye. Fans recall that Jada P had a baby shower months ago with Wizkid in attendance, but neither of them publicly announced the birth of their daughter until this touching red carpet debut.
At the premiere event, Wizkid was seen lovingly taking his daughter from Jada P, smiling as he cradled the toddler in his arms while interacting with the press and fans. Both father and daughter wore all-white ensembles, a symbolic gesture that radiated unity and love. The little girl clung adorably to her father, drawing admiration from onlookers who noted her comfort and joy in his presence. Social media users were quick to point out a striking resemblance between the child and Wizkid’s late mother, Morayo, with some saying she looked just like a younger version of the music icon’s family members.
Fans online didn’t hold back their excitement, calling the toddler “Wizkid’s mini side chic” in jest and noting how she seemed to have stolen his heart.
Others praised Jada P, describing her as beautiful, humble, and strong for supporting Wizkid’s career and building a loving family. As one fan commented, “Happiness just full the lil girl face, she knows her life is perfect, diamond spoon, not golden oo.” For many, the moment was more than just a red carpet walk, it was a rare and tender glimpse into Wizkid’s world as a doting father and proud family man.
