Earlier, the singer had spoken of how his mother passed away
after suffering a cardiac arrest.
“I was about 10 to 11 years old when she died. She died on
my father’s birthday. I always wish that she should have been alive,” he had
said.
“I would have bought her a lot of diamonds and houses but
she knew that I was going to be great. My mother was from Benin. I think I’m
like her; I inherited her agility. She helped so many people to date.
“I go to some places and people would tell me what my mother
did for them. Before my mother died, I was a mummy’s boy because my father was
always busy. He was working and always traveling to places like China.”
The Afropop singer had recently recounted the period in his
life when he was broke and had no support.
