PUNCH METRO reported that Wizkid’s mum died on the 18th of August in London.
While the cause of her death was, however, not disclosed, a funeral service was held at the Redeemed Christian Church of God on the 13th of October, 2023.
Mourning his mum, Wizkid said, “I have no words to describe the pain that I feel, and I know every one of my family members shares this pain with me. I know the pain can’t go away, so I’m not going to say, ‘Take away the pain’, but I know God, in his infinite mercy, will comfort us to go on with life.”
