Singer Niniola has announced the demise of her husband.
Glamtush reports that Nigerian afro-house singer, Niniola Apata, has announced the death of her husband.
The Grammy-nominated artist made the disclosure in a series of emotional posts on her Instagram story in the early hours of Wednesday.
Her husband, Michael Ndika, was the Chief Executive Officer of NaijaReview, a multimedia platform focused on afro-house and contemporary African music before his death.
“God took him,” she wrote in the first post.
“My husband died,” she added in a second.
In a third, she wrote: “God took him. 13 years. 13 f***ing years.”
Each post came with a photo of she and her husband.
The circumstances of the death of her husband were not immediately disclosed as she has always kept her private life away from the public and social media.
Apata, 39, rose to prominence after finishing as a top contestant on Project Fame West Africa in 2013 and has since become one of Nigeria’s most celebrated music exports.
Her 2017 single, Maradona, earned international acclaim, drawing collaborations and recognition from artists including DJ Snake, Drake, Timbaland, and Beyoncé.
