The mother of one broke down into tears as Priscilla held onto her and comforted her.
In her caption, Chioma Good Hair noted how Wunmi hasn’t been able to mourn her husband in peace since his death.
“Bless you, my love. May Nigeria never happen to us. She hasn’t been able to mourn her husband Mohbad in peace since he died. And this is the first time he’s being honoured by an organisation, must be so emotional”.
At the award ceremony, the late Mohbad won the Best Street Music (Street Hop Artiste) of the Year award and the Viewer’s Choice for his song, ‘Egwu,’ with Chike.
Giving a speech to celebrate her husband’s win, Wunmi said she doesn’t refer to him as her late husband because he lives forever, especially through their son, Liam. The mother of one expressed gratitude to the organisers of the awards for honouring her husband’s memory and legacy, as she made it known that it means a lot to them.
Refreshing your memory, Mohbad, a former signee of Naira Marley’s record label, tragically passed away at 27 under unclear circumstances on September 12, 2023.
