Jane Dolapo Balogun, the mother of Wizkid, passed away, and her funeral was held recently. The artist had a close relationship with his mother, so this loss has had a profound impact on him. Wizkid is well-known for his colourful and vivacious stage shows, but he has also displayed a more delicate and sensitive side as he works through the pain of losing his mother.
