Afrobeats sensation Ayo Balogun, widely known as Wizkid, has expressed the profound anguish he felt over the passing of his mother, Jane Dolapo Balogun, on August 18, 2023, in London. At his mother's wake-keep ceremony, he openly shared the depth of his grief, stating that her death marked the most intense pain he has ever experienced in his life.
Wizkid revealed, "The pain is profound. It hurts deeply. The deepest pain I've ever felt in my life. I'm lost but I pray God will comfort everyone of us."
Following this heart-wrenching loss, Wizkid emerged from a nearly month-long period of silence to attend a candlelight procession in honor of his mother. This public appearance marked a poignant moment in his grieving process.
In 2014, Wizkid paid tribute to his mother with the song "Mummy Mi" from his 'Ayo' album, celebrating the joy she brought into his life and pledging to lavish her with the finest things life had to offer. Jane Dolapo Balogun's passing has undoubtedly left a profound void, and Wizkid's touching words reflect the depth of his love and sorrow for his beloved mother
