Nigerian singer Iyanya shares one of the darkest periods of his life, revealing that he lost three family members in a short span of two years.
Iyanya revealed that his father died just a week before he got signed, and his brother passed away shortly after his debut.
He further shared that on the day his mother died, he was backstage preparing to perform at an event when he received the heartbreaking news just four minutes before he was scheduled to go on stage. Despite the shock and pain, he still went ahead with the performance.
Iyanya disclosed this during a recent interview with media personality Hero Daniels.
“The day my mom died, I had a show, I was at the backstage. I think four minutes to my performance, my mom’s junior brother was calling me back-to-back. So, I picked the call and he goes like, your mom is dead. I still performed despite my devastation.”
