Afrobeats sensation Ayo Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has opened up about the profound pain he experienced with the recent passing of his mother, Jane Dolapo Balogun, on August 18, 2023, in London.
During his mother's wake-keep ceremony, Wizkid expressed the deep emotional impact, describing it as the most intense pain he has ever felt. Despite the loss, he shared a hopeful sentiment, saying, "I’m lost but I pray God will comfort everyone of us."
Following nearly a month of mourning in private, Wizkid made his first public appearance during the candlelight procession held in honor of his late mother. This heartfelt revelation comes from the artist who, in 2014, dedicated the track 'Mummy Mi' from his 'Ayo' album to mothers worldwide.
In the song, Wizkid expressed gratitude to his mother for the joy she brought into his life and pledged to shower her with the finest things life has to offer. As Wizkid navigates through this challenging time, his fans and well-wishers send comforting thoughts his way.
