Wizkid Says Newborn Daughter Looks Exactly Like Late Mother, Calls Her a Gift From God

Grammy-winning Nigerian music icon Ayodeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid, has shared a deeply personal moment with fans, revealing the emotional significance behind the birth of his daughter.

While performing at his sold-out concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Wizkid paused to reflect on the loss of his beloved mother, Mrs. Jane Dolapo Balogun, who passed away in August 2023, and the powerful way life has come full circle.

“God gave me a daughter who looks exactly like my mom to come fill my heart with a whole lot of love,” Wizkid said, drawing a wave of applause and cheers from the crowd.

The heartfelt revelation struck a chord with many fans, as the singer rarely opens up about his personal life on stage. His vulnerability added a touching layer to an already memorable night.

Wizkid, who recently welcomed his first daughter with his partner and manager Jada Pollock, has largely kept his family life private but occasionally offers fans rare glimpses into his role as a father.

Since the passing of his mother, the singer has continued to honor her memory through his music and public tributes, making this recent moment a particularly moving tribute to her legacy.
