Wizkid is stepping into a new spotlight in 2025, and this time, it’s not just music — it’s cinema.
The Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar will officially make his film festival debut this June with the premiere of a brand-new documentary titled “WIZKID: LONG LIVE LAGOS” at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
This highly anticipated documentary will trace Wizkid’s extraordinary rise from the vibrant streets of Lagos to the global stage, celebrating his role as a trailblazer in Afrobeats and a force in international music culture. Packed with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, intimate interviews, and rare moments with the people who’ve helped shape his journey, the film promises an unfiltered look at the life of one of Africa’s most influential artists.
Though the film’s director remains under wraps for now, buzz around the project is already building. Tribeca’s decision to feature the documentary in its Spotlight+ program — a curated selection of standout films paired with live performances, panels, or special appearances — speaks volumes about its cultural weight and star power.
