Nigerian celebrities have shown support for their colleague, Wizkid by paying tribute to his mother, who died on Friday, August 18, 2023.
Famous singer, David Adeleke, aka Davido, halted his performance at the Afronation Fest in Detroit, United States, on Sunday, August 20, 2023, to pay tribute to Wizkid’s mother Mrs Jane Dolapo Balogun.
The entertainer, who is sadly no stranger to grief having lost his own mother as a child, sympathised with Wizkid.
He said, “Personally, I’ve lost so many people in my life. I want to send big condolences to my brother Ayo Balogun, Wizkid who lost his mother, may her soul rest in peace. I lost my mother myself many years ago, but whatever he has done, he has made his mother proud.”
Burna Boy also paid his respects to the late Mrs. during his performance. He expressed how unfathomable Wizkid’s pain is to him, noting that he would be in complete disarray if he lost his own mother. On that note, he sent his condolences to his fellow entertainer.
Even the popular Dj Exclusive stood in support of Wizkid, also expressing his sincere condolences on his mother’s death. During his performance at the NYSC Orientation camp concert in Lagos state, he urged the corps members to observe a minute’s silence in respect.
