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.
