Grammy award-singer, Burna Boy has commiserated with his colleague, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, better known as Wizkid, following the demise of his mother.
OsunDailyNG earlier reported that a close associate of Wizkid confirmed that the singer lost his mother after a brief illness.
Mrs. Balogun, who was a pillar of support for her son’s flourishing career, and often seen showing her support for him from the sidelines at concerts, died in the wee hours of today, Friday, August 18, 2023.
Wizkid’s longtime manager, Sunday Aare, also confirmed the sad news to The Punch.
He said, “Yes, she died this morning, at about 1.30 am.”
