Reekado Banks, a Nigerian artist whose real name is Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon, lost his mother.
The singer of “Easy Jeje” shared on Instagram on Tuesday that Dorcas Olubunmi Solomon had passed away.
The post, which was accompanied by a flyer, pleaded with readers to remember Solomon’s family in their prayers during “this trying time.”
The flyer also stated that in addition to her children and grandchildren, Banks’ mother is also survived by her husband.
