Famous Afrobeats singer Iyanya Mbuk has shared a heartbreaking chapter of his life, revealing that he lost three family members within a span of two years.
In an interview with Hero Daniels, Iyanya said the tragic events began with his father’s passing, just days before a major career milestone.
Shortly after, his brother passed away, and then his mother died moments before one of his performances.
He said his uncle broke the news of his mother’s passing to him right before he stepped on the stage.
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.”
