Making his debut at a major film festival this June, Grammy-winning Nigerian star Wizkid is poised for a landmark year in 2025.
The upcoming documentary, titled WIZKID: LONG LIVE LAGOS, will premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival and will spotlight the singer’s extraordinary rise from the streets of Lagos to international acclaim.
The much-anticipated film will showcase Wizkid’s profound impact on Afrobeats and his influential role in shaping global music culture. Viewers can expect exclusive footage, behind-the-scenes content, and insightful interviews with key figures who have been part of his journey.
WIZKID: LONG LIVE LAGOS has been selected for Tribeca’s prestigious Spotlight+ category, which highlights boundary-pushing documentaries accompanied by special live events. This year’s Spotlight+ lineup also includes Something Beautiful with Miley Cyrus, Billy Joel: And So It Goes, Still Free TC, and We Are Pat.
Directed by a yet-to-be-announced filmmaker, the documentary is already generating considerable buzz across the global entertainment scene.
Tribeca’s inclusion of the film underscores the growing recognition of Afrobeats as a cultural force and further solidifies Wizkid’s status as a global trailblazer.
Both fans and film enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the premiere, which is expected to be a standout highlight of this year’s festival.
