Wizkid is heading to the big screen! The Nigerian music powerhouse is set to make his film festival debut with ‘Wizkid: Long Live Lagos.’

Full story below…

The 83-minute documentary, directed by Karam Gill, dives deep into the Starboy’s meteoric rise – from the vibrant streets of Lagos to the global Afrobeats throne.

Packed with concert footage, rare interviews, and cultural commentary, the film peels back the curtain on one of music’s most enigmatic figures.

Screening as part of Tribeca’s Spotlight+ section, the premiere will be followed by a live convo with Wiz and Gill. A rare sit-down with one of Afrobeats’ most low-key kings? Count us in.

Speaking on the venture, Wiz said:

“We made this documentary when Iife got crazy for me. Playing tottenhamhotspur stadium while dealing with life! Glad I get to have my amazing fans and family on this journey with me. This is love! From a real place! Tribeca Film Festival 2025!”

Produced by Gill and Daniel Malikyar and distributed by HBO Documentary Films, ‘Long Live Lagos’ is a cinematic celebration of legacy, Lagos, and the sound that changed the game.

Catch the screening on June 6,7, and 11 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.
