Renowned Nigerian artist Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, recognized by his professional name Wizkid, has suffered the painful loss of his mother who has passed away.
This heartbreaking news has plunged both the entertainment community and devoted fans into a profound state of grief.
A trusted source close to the accomplished Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and entertainer Ayodeji Balogun, widely celebrated as Wizkid, has verified the somber incident, revealing that the singer’s mother departed in the early hours of this day, Friday, August 18, 2023.
Jane Dolapo Balogun, known affectionately as Mrs. Balogun, stood as a steadfast pillar bolstering her son’s burgeoning career. She frequently exhibited her wholehearted backing by gracing concerts and events as an enthusiastic observer from the sidelines.
In the midst of this sorrowful time, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, whose true identity is embraced by the stage name Wizkid, has not yet shared a public expression in response to this loss.
Her presence during Wizkid’s performances transcended the role of a typical mother, instead embodying an emblem of unwavering dedication to her son’s musical odyssey.
Wizkid still has a father whose name is Alhaji Muniru Olatunji Balogun.
May her soul rest in peace. Famous9ja cares
