Yesterday was a bittersweet day for Nigerian hip hop recording artiste, Olamide.
Just a few hours after he celebrated his son’s birthday, YBNL Boss, Olamide lost his mother, Nigerian media reports.
The bitter ending of a day that was supposed to be filled completely with joy and laughter.
“Happy birthday 🎉🎈🎂🎊🎁 Batifèori Maximiliano Adedeji ❤️❤️❤️❤️ more life young King 🤴🏾 from Dad,your best pal,” Olamide posted on Instagram early yesterday.
