Iyanya Mbuk, the well-known Afrobeats singer, has opened up about a tragic period in his life: in just two years, he lost three family members.
Days before a significant professional milestone, Iyanya claimed in an interview with Hero Daniels that his father’s death marked the start of the catastrophic events.
Iyanya said: “The lowest point of my life, I would say, losing my family. I lost three people in about two years. My dad passed about seven or eight days to me being recruited,” he said.
“Immediately, I came out, and it was my brother who followed. I met my mom. The day my mom died, I had a show. I was backstage. I think like four minutes into my performance, my mom’s junior brother was calling me back to back.
“So I picked the call, he goes, your mom is dead. And we are also in this era where private love lacks verification. Because the norm is everybody showing off flowers, dates, kisses on social media.”
