Legit.ng also reported that Jada Pollock, aka Jada P, the manager and baby mama to the music star warmed hearts with a rare, adorable picture of their daughter and third child together.

It will be recalled that Wizkid and Jada P made headlines around November 2024 when reports surfaced online that they had welcomed a baby girl.

In March 2025, Jada P shared a picture in which she was seated with two other women, the child in her lap. However, only the baby’s pink shawl and white stocking feet were visible. Her face was shielded.

On Monday, May 19, Jada P, in a social media post via X, formerly Twitter, celebrated her daughter's six-month milestone.
