Tijani Onwenu, the son of late Nigerian music icon Onyeka Onwenu, has paid a heartfelt tribute to his mother as he marks one year since her passing.
As reported by Gistlover, the legendary singer collapsed shortly after performing at the 80th birthday celebration of Stella Okolie in Lagos on July 31, 2024. She was immediately rushed to Reddington Hospital, where she was later confirmed dead.
Commemorating the somber anniversary on July 30, 2025, Tijani shared a simple but emotional message:
“A year ago, today.
RIP Mom
July 30, 2024.”
The message stirred emotion online as fans joined him in remembering the woman fondly referred to as the “Elegant Stallion,” whose powerful voice and cultural influence left a lasting legacy in Nigerian music and media.
In other news, Sophia Momodu, Nigerian entrepreneur and the mother of singer Davido’s first child, Imade Adeleke, has made it clear that expanding her family is not on her radar anytime soon.
The fashion influencer shared this during a recent Snapchat Q&A, after a follower complimented her daughter’s beauty and asked if she planned to have more children.
Sophia appreciated the kind words about Imade but gave a firm and personal response:
“Another baby isn’t on my list of priorities… talk more of having another simply because I make beautiful babies.”
Her candid reply has since gone viral, with many interpreting it as a clear boundary against societal pressure and unsolicited expectations regarding motherhood.
Sophia’s statement comes amid ongoing public curiosity about her personal life—particularly her co-parenting relationship with Davido. Despite their high-profile connection, she has mostly kept her family planning and parenting strategies private.
This latest response gives fans a rare glimpse into her perspective, suggesting a strong focus on her current responsibilities and goals as a mother of one.
Over the years, Sophia Momodu has remained a hot topic online not only for her lifestyle content and fashion-forward presence, but also due to controversies surrounding her co-parenting experience. She has frequently found herself at the center of online debates, from public spats with Davido’s fans to openly discussing the emotional and financial challenges of single motherhood.
In one of her more viral moments, she voiced frustrations about the pressure of parenting alone while navigating the scrutiny that comes with being linked to a major celebrity.
Though admired for her poise, confidence, and style, Sophia continues to be a polarizing figure. Her remarks about choosing not to have another child may address recent rumors, but it’s unlikely to silence the ever-watchful eyes of the internet.
