The trailer for the upcoming HBO documentary Wizkid: Long Live Lagos dropped — highlighting Wizkid’s journey from Lagos streets to global stardom, and the film’s debut set for December 11, 2025.
The official trailer for Wizkid: Long Live Lagos dropped this week — and already the internet is buzzing. The documentary promises a comprehensive look at Wizkid’s rise: from humble beginnings in Lagos, to selling out landmark stadiums and becoming a global Afrobeats icon. 
Helmed by director Karam Gill as part of HBO’s “Music Box” series, the film captures not just the hits and headlines — but the pressures, the struggles, and the soul behind the music. The trailer features intimate clips and voices like his first manager and veteran musician Femi Kuti, who frames Wizkid as “a symbol of hope.”
Release Details
Premiere date: December 11, 2025 — worldwide on HBO and streaming on HBO Max. 
Backstory: The film made its first splash at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, where audiences caught an early glimpse of its emotional and cultural weight.
FSA Take:
With Wizkid: Long Live Lagos, what happened in Lagos isn’t staying in Lagos anymore. It’s going live — on a global screen, under global eyes. Whether you’re an Afrobeats fan or just interested in culture-shifting cinema, mark December 11 in your calendar.
