Jada Pollock Expresses Frustration Over Label “Wizkid Baby Mama”
Nigerian Talent Manager, Jada Pollock comments on being labelled as Wizkid’s baby Mama. In a recent interview with BET UK, she shared that its quite frustrating being labelled that and not being acknowledged for her own achievements.
She expressed how some blogs chose to refer her as Wizkid’s Baby Mama when writing about her and not labelling her by her efforts.
“When Wizkid won a Grammy, I wrote a statement about how far Afrobeat has come. They published the statement, and the caption was “Wizkid baby mama.
