Jada Pollock stands as one of the most influential figures in the Nigerian music industry, known both for her professional accomplishments as a music executive and her personal relationship with superstar artist Wizkid. Her story represents a fascinating blend of American entrepreneurship and African music success.
Early Life and Educational Background
Jada Pollock was born on October 20, 1983, making her 42 years old as of 2025. She hails from the United States and carries American nationality. Her zodiac sign is Libra, reflecting the balanced nature she has demonstrated throughout her career and personal life.
The talented executive received her education in the United Kingdom, attending St. Saviour's and St. Olave's School before progressing to the University of Westminster for her bachelor's degree. This international educational background would later serve her well in the global music industry.
Building a Career in Fashion and Music
Jada's professional journey began during her university years when she secured an internship with luxury brand Gucci in the UK. This experience proved foundational, allowing her to develop relationships with clients and learn the intricacies of styling and brand management.
After completing her education, Pollock launched her own business venture called Envy Lifestyle, a concierge service that gradually expanded into image consulting and brand management. Her client roster quickly grew to include high-profile names, most notably Premier League footballer Didier Drogba, who eventually became her business partner.
She later rebranded her company as Jada Styles, continuing to work with elite clients in the music industry including Chris Brown, Pia Mia, and Gucci Mane. In an interview with West London Living, Jada explained her motivation: "I worked in the men's department of Gucci and developed a good relationship with clients, so the shop came about because I wanted to offer my experience as a stylist with a shop."
Professional Partnership with Wizkid
The turning point in Jada's career came when she began managing Wizkid's music career from 2014 to 2015. The two had initially met in 2012 when Jada was managing Akon, but their professional relationship blossomed into one of the most successful partnerships in contemporary African music.
Under Jada's management, Wizkid achieved unprecedented international success, securing collaborations with global superstars like Drake and Damian Marley. Her keen understanding of music and audience preferences played a crucial role in positioning Wizkid on the world stage.
In September 2021, Billboard magazine recognized Jada's contributions by naming her Executive of the Week. During her interview with the publication, she shared insights into her creative approach: "Music is so personal, and the more you make music people can relate to, the bigger the push." This philosophy proved successful with Wizkid's hit song "Essence" from the "Made in Lagos" album, which became his breakthrough track in the United States market.
Personal Life and Family with Wizkid
What began as a professional relationship evolved into a personal one, with Jada and Wizkid going public with their romance in 2014. Their family has since grown to include three children together.
Their first son, Zion Ayo-Balogun, was born on October 28, 2017. Five years later, on August 1, 2022, they welcomed their second son, AJ. The couple's most recent addition is their daughter Morayo, whose arrival was announced through a pink-themed baby shower in 2024.
While there has been much speculation about marriage between the two, Jada clarified their status in response to a fan on social media platform X: "It's a marathon not a race... It truly concerns me how many of you focus on this topic! A majority of u typing away don't have the experience, knowledge or understanding of what it takes to have a happy, healthy & successful marriage that would last forever! I wish u all well tho!"
It's worth noting that Wizkid has five children in total, with his first two sons—Boluwatife and Ayodeji—born to different mothers before his relationship with Jada began.
Family Background and Personal Trivia
Jada comes from a close-knit family. Her father, Lenox Caprice, gained public attention in 2022 when he shared a photo of the couple after Wizkid announced he was single on Snapchat. Jada responded by warning her father in since-deleted tweets not to bring their personal matters to social media.
She also has a younger sister who works as a disc jockey under the name Skylatylaa. Beyond her professional and family life, Jada is known to be an animal lover and considers her family her greatest treasure.
Interestingly, Jada is seven years older than Wizkid, who was born on July 16, 1990. Despite this age difference, their partnership has proven remarkably successful both personally and professionally.
Today, Jada Pollock continues to manage Wizkid's career while running her own businesses, maintaining her position as one of the most powerful women in the African music industry and a central figure in Wizkid's life as the mother of three of his children.
