Award-winning singer Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, widely known as Wizkid, has finally opened up about the pain he had to endure following the passing of his mother.

Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, once again demonstrated his extraordinary musical and vocal abilities with the release of his new album, Lungu Boy.

The album, which was released at midnight on Friday, August 9, 2024, has gained a lot of attention on Nigerian social media, especially since Wizkid made an appearance on it.

In one of the songs, Wizkid opened up about losing his mother, marking the first time the singer publicly spoke about her death.

Following his mother's passing, fans who anticipated Wizkid using music to express his emotions were disappointed when he launched a new project that did not mention her in the EP.

It appears that Wizkid is now ready to talk about his mother's death.

In the song "MMS," Wizkid revealed that he “lost” himself after his mother's death but eventually found his purpose.

Part of the lyrics goes, Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Ayodeji Balogun, aka Wizkid, is still mourning the loss of his mum, Mrs Jane Morayo Balogun and it was palpable in his latest collaborative song with Asake, ‘MMS’.

On his verse, Wizkid takes listeners on a melancholic ride as he shares how his mother’s death has transformed him.

The singer disclosed that he “lost” himself after his mum died but found his purpose.

“You no fit run from who you are

Man, wetin go be, man, is cast in stone….

Why mama leave me, yeah, e no long

Lost myself and I found my purpose

Yeah, everyday, I know that I’m blessed…

Nothing man no face, vibe today
