Wizkid got emotional on stage as he spoke about his newborn daughter’s resemblance to his late mother.
The singer’s heartfelt words moved fans during his sold-out Los Angeles show.
Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Ayodeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid, delivered a heartfelt moment on stage during his sold-out concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, leaving fans emotional as he reflected on family and loss.
Amid his energetic performance, Wizkid took a moment to open up about the recent birth of his daughter and the strong emotional bond he feels because of her striking resemblance to his late mother, Mrs. Jane Dolapo Balogun.
“God gave me a daughter who looks exactly like my mom to come fill my heart with a whole lot of love,” the singer told the crowd.
His words drew loud cheers and emotional applause from fans, many of whom were visibly touched by his sincerity.
Wizkid lost his mother in August 2023, a painful experience that he has since acknowledged through tributes in both his music and public appearances. The singer has often credited her for shaping his values and inspiring his career.
Now a father to his first daughter with longtime partner and manager Jada Pollock, Wizkid has mostly kept his personal and family life out of the public eye. However, moments like this show a more vulnerable and personal side of the global superstar one that fans continue to embrace with admiration.
The emotional revelation added a special touch to what was already a memorable night for concertgoers, reminding them that behind the fame is a son still grieving, and a father now healing through new life.
