Nigerian gospel singer Dare Melody has spoken out on the painful demise of his wife, Adedoyin Odunuga nee Odagi.
Hitgist reported in October that the gospel singer had lost his wife. The sad news was made on the singer’s Instagram page, where it was revealed that his wife died in the early morning of Thursday, 24th of October 2024.
On Thursday evening, a wake keep was held in honor of her where Dare Melody spoke on her death.
He stated that he tries so hard for his today not to spoil his tomorrow as he noted how he used to tell his late wife that whatever she hears of him, he is a musician and he is human; as such, she should accept him as he is.
He praised his wife for being a truthful and honest person just like he is. According to him, he doesn’t know how to lie. Dare Melody noted how he used to send people’s homes, but when the storm came, he couldn’t fix his own home.
“I try so hard for my today not to spoil my tomorrow. I used to tell my late wife, whatever you hear about me, we are musicians and we are human. Accept me as I am. My wife, Adedoyin, was a very truthful and honest person, and I am also very truthful. I don’t know how to lie. I used to mend people’s homes but when the storm came, I couldn’t fix my own home”.
In the past two years, many celebrities have lost their partners. Early this year, Yoruba actor Tayo Adeleye, in a heartbreaking post, announced the demise of his beautiful wife of 3 years, as he shared some photos from her burial ceremony.
Though he didn’t disclose what caused her death, he penned a note to her, stating that his wife would forever be etched in his heart. Calling her his guiding light, the bereaved husband added that his wife’s absence would be felt.
