Jada Pollock, who is expecting her third child with renowned singer Wizkid, has spoken out against being labeled as merely a “baby mama.”
In a recent interview with BET UK, the talent manager expressed her frustration with how her identity is often reduced to this term. She recalled issuing a statement celebrating Afrobeat’s progress after Wizkid’s Grammy win, only to be described by several blogs as “Wizkid’s baby mama.”
Jada stressed that such labels undermine her accomplishments and overlook her contributions as a dedicated entrepreneur and business professional. She highlighted her role not just as a mother but also as a manager who has been instrumental in building 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”.
