Jada Pollock, a successful talent manager and music industry executive, has expressed concern over the media’s tendency to primarily identify her as Wizkid’s partner rather than acknowledging her professional achievements. This frustration came to light following an incident with a UK television station that emphasized her personal relationship with the Grammy-winning artist while covering her commentary on Afrobeats’ global success.
“I’ve established myself as an entrepreneur and businesswoman, yet this narrative gets overshadowed,” Pollock explained, highlighting her dual role as both a mother and a manager who has contributed significantly to building a lasting legacy in the music industry.
Pollock, who has been in a relationship with Wizkid since 2014 and shares two children with him – Zion and AJ – emphasized that her professional identity and accomplishments should not be diminished by her personal life. Her statement brings attention to the broader issue of how female professionals in the entertainment industry are often primarily defined by their relationships rather than their career achievements.
