She emphasizes her significant contributions to the music industry and her role as a successful entrepreneur.
In an interview with BET UK, Jada P expressed her frustration with being reduced to a relationship status rather than recognized for her professional achievements.
She highlighted the irony of being overlooked despite her involvement in Wizkid’s Grammy win, a milestone for Afrobeat music.

“When Wizkid won a Grammy, I released a statement celebrating how far Afrobeat has come. But the caption that followed was, ‘Wizkid’s baby mama.’ That narrative disregards the hard work and dedication I’ve put into my career. I am not only a mother but also a manager building a legacy,” she said.
Jada P underscored her role in managing globally recognized artists, including Chris Brown, Wizkid, and Skyla Tyla. She asserted her position as a businesswoman actively shaping the music industry.
“I’ve managed some of the biggest artists, like Chris Brown and Wizkid, and contributed to their global success. But my work often gets overshadowed by this limiting label,” she noted.
Jada P remains committed to redefining the narrative and advocating for recognition of women as multifaceted professionals beyond their personal relationships.
Through her career, she continues to play a crucial role in promoting Afrobeat and expanding its global reach.
