13 fucking years.
God took him.
God took my husband”.

Her breakout hit “Maradona” gained international attention and helped establish her as a major figure in Nigerian music.
The success of the record later attracted recognition from international stars including Drake, Timbaland, DJ Snake, and Beyoncé.
Many fans are currently awaiting further statements from the singer or her management regarding funeral arrangements or additional details surrounding the loss.
As condolences continue pouring in from fans and colleagues, the news that Niniola loses husband has become one of the most emotional entertainment stories of the week. Supporters across social media are now sending prayers and messages of comfort to the singer during this difficult period.
