Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar Wizkid, born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, turned 35 on Wednesday, and the warm wishes have been pouring in from fans, friends, and family alike. One notable message came from an unexpected but deeply personal source—Lenox Caprice, father of Wizkid’s partner and manager Jada Pollock.
Taking to Instagram, Lenox shared a touching tribute along with photos of the “Essence” hitmaker.
“Birthday to my son Wiz, love you lots 🙏🏿❤️🥳🎁🎂🍾🥂xx,” he wrote, affirming the close bond between them.
A Milestone Marked with Love
Wizkid, widely regarded as one of Africa’s biggest musical exports, has been receiving a flood of love on social media as fans worldwide celebrate his musical journey and personal growth.
His long-term partner, Jada Pollock, has been instrumental in both his career and personal life. Their relationship began in 2012 on professional terms when Jada started managing Wizkid. Their bond eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship—one they kept private for several years.
Family First: A Growing Legacy
In 2017, the couple publicly confirmed their relationship following the birth of their son, Zion Balogun, who has since become a fan-favorite fixture at concerts and red carpet events with his superstar father.
In October 2022, they welcomed their second child, AJ, and in January 2025, the couple had their third child together, a baby girl—marking Wizkid’s first daughter and completing what fans now fondly call the “Wizkid & Jada tribe.”
