Mrs Jane Dolapo Balogun, the mother of Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, aka Wizkid, has passed away.
The mother of three died at around 1.30 am, Friday.
Confirming the news, Sunday Are, Wizkid’s manager for a long time, shared that Mrs Balogun passed away during the early hours of Friday.
“Yes, she passed away this morning, around 1:30 am,” said Sunday Aaare.
Wizkid’s mum, a formidable cornerstone of strength, lent unwavering backing to her son’s meteoric rise in the industry. Her steadfast support was a familiar sight on the periphery of concerts and events.
Her presence at Wizkid’s performances wasn’t just that of a mother; it embodied an emblem of unyielding allegiance to her son’s career.
This devastating report comes months after the Singer’s mum, who appeared hale and hearty, attended an event where veteran fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (KWAM1) was performing.
The late Mrs Balogun was also the mother of two other children, Yetunde Balogun and Lade Balogun.
Fans of the popular musician have since been throwing thongs of condolences to him, expressing their deepest concerns and wishing him well.
