Wizkid brought more than star power to the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. He brought his daughter, and fans couldn’t get enough.
The Nigerian music icon arrived at the premiere of his documentary Wizkid: Long Live Lagos with his daughter by his side. Her rare public appearance sparked a wave of excitement online, with fans affectionately calling her “Machalina,” a playful spin on Wizkid’s nickname, “Machala.”
On the red carpet, the pair stole the show. Wizkid looked sharp as ever, but it was the father-daughter energy that had people talking. Fans took to social media to celebrate the moment, calling it one of the highlights of the festival.
The documentary itself dives into Wizkid’s Lagos roots, his rise in the music world, and the global impact of Afrobeats. It blends concert footage with intimate storytelling and scenes from his hometown, aiming to give the world a closer look at the city that shaped him.
Wizkid has always been private about his family, so this appearance felt extra meaningful for many of his followers. As one fan put it, “Machala and Machalina didn’t just show up, they owned it.”
The film is expected to be released to wider audiences later this year, and if the early buzz is any sign, Long Live Lagos is going to make waves far beyond Tribeca.
