Pop-highlife singer, Chris Mba, most popularly known for the song ‘Baby Don’t Cry’, is dead.
The music veteran who was reportedly down with heart disease was said to have died on Wednesday at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.
While confirming the death of the Abia-born on Thursday, the General Manager of Premier Music, Michael Odiong in a post, confirmed that the musician died on Wednesday night of heart-related disease.
Recall that a journalist, Azuka Jebose, had in 2019, in a Facebook post, disclosed that the singer sent him a distress message on Whatsapp seeking urgent financial assistance to pay for his hospital treatment at LUTH.
He quoted him saying, “Jebose this is a serious health challenge for me. Please, my brother, help me. We buy drugs and the hospital bed costs N50,000 daily.”
Mba made firm in his music career in the 80s for his signature Jerry curl and hits like ‘Funky Situation’, ‘Love Everlasting’, ‘Baby Don’t Cry’ and ‘Making my way’.
