In a heartwarming gesture, Nigerian music sensation Wizkid, whose real name is Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, has unveiled plans to spread joy this Christmas by distributing 100 million naira among children. This generous act is dedicated to the memory of his late mother, Jane Dolapo Balogun, who passed away earlier this year.

Wizkid, known for his chart-topping hits and philanthropic endeavors, has kept a low profile since his mother’s untimely demise in London this August. The renowned singer, who recently broke his silence, expressed the profound pain he has been grappling with since losing his mother.

During the wake-keep ceremony held on Thursday, Wizkid shared his sentiments, saying, “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.” The wake-keep ceremony became a platform for the artist to publicly acknowledge his grief and pay tribute to his beloved mother.

Jane Dolapo Balogun, born on July 14, 1957, left behind a legacy, surviving her husband, Muniru Olatunji Balogun, and four children: Yetunde Balogun, Omolara Osunkoya, Olubusayo Balogun, and Ayodeji ‘Wizkid’ Balogun. Wizkid’s commitment to providing joy to children this festive season reflects not only his artistic prowess but also his compassionate nature, especially in the face of personal loss.

As Wizkid prepares to embark on this heartening initiative, his fans eagerly anticipate the positive impact it will have on the lives of many children during the holiday season. The announcement not only marks Wizkid’s return to the public eye but also demonstrates his resilience and determination to spread love and joy in honor of his mother’s memory.
