Nigerian Afrobeat star Ayodeji Balogun, known as Wizkid, has lost his mother, Dolapo Balogun.
Sunday Aare, Wizkid’s manager, broke the news on Friday stating: "Yes, she died this morning, at about 1.30 am."
The 33-year-old Grammy award winner is yet to make a public statement as regards his loss.
Mrs Balogun had two other children — Yetunde Balogun and Lade Balogun. In 2014, Wizkid released a song titled ‘Joy’, specially dedicated to his mother.
Some of his colleagues, fans and close associates including Davido, and the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, consoled the singer on social media.
