This is an entertaining film, which offers a look into the life of 31-year-old Nigerian singer-songwriter Wizkid, but also provides a framework for his stardom, explaining the political and social impact of his music. Go to Full Review Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com Nov 24
The king of Afrobeats has been given his flowers by a perceptive music documentary. A doc that's both personal and socially/culturally conscious, in the very best ways. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Trevor M @TeeMayo Dec 27 Long Live Lagos captures Wizkid’s journey from early promise to global force. Discovered by many in the early 2010s, his evolving sound helped reshape African music and culture. The stadium moments feel earned, and his acknowledgment of Fela Kuti grounds the film in cultural history, making this not just a success story, but a statement about legacy and the future of Afrobeats. I discovered Wizkid in 2012, and watching Long Live Lagos feels like witnessing the full payoff of that journey. His music didn’t just evolve — it helped change the sound and shape the culture. The stadium scenes are powerful because they represent earned success, not hype. Seeing him headline major shows and acknowledge Fela places him within a real cultural lineage, opening doors for the future. This documentary isn’t just about an artist — it’s about a movement coming full circle. See more Read all reviews
