“God Gave Me a Daughter That Looks Exactly Like My Mum” — Wizkid’s Emotional Tribute at Recent Concert

Nigerian superstar Wizkid pulled at heartstrings during his latest concert, when he opened up about his newborn daughter and made a powerful tribute to his late mother.

Amid soaring melodies and thunderous applause, the Afrobeats icon paused to address the audience, saying:

“God gave me a daughter that looks exactly like my mum”

The crowd fell silent as Wizkid’s voice softened, reflecting a deeply personal moment. The heartfelt comment honors his mother, Jane Dolapo “Morayo” Balogun, who tragically passed away in August 2023 . He continued, eyes glistening, “I see her in my baby girl, and it brings me so much peace.”

Wizkid, who has been candid about surviving the “deepest pain” of his life following his mother’s death , appears to be finding solace in fatherhood. In June, he publicly introduced his daughter and revealed her name, Morayo Balogun, a tribute using his mother’s name .
