On Thursday, March 06, 2025, Nigerian musician Oluwatosin Ajibade, better known as Mr Eazi, announced the passing of his mother, Ifeoma Edith Ajibade, with a poignant Instagram tribute that’s tugged heartstrings nationwide. The 33-year-old poured out gratitude and grief, calling her his “greatest protector, toughest critic, and truest fan.” “Thank you, Mummy, for your strength, sacrifices, and unwavering faith,” he wrote, crediting her for instilling love, discipline, and lessons in confidence, entrepreneurship, and forgiveness.
“You were not perfect, but you were perfect to me,” Mr Eazi penned, a raw nod to a bond unbreakable even in loss. “Your legacy lives on. Rest well, Ifeoma Edith Ajibade.” The post, a beacon of vulnerability from a star known for hits like “Skin Tight,” has drawn a flood of support. His wife, Temi Otedola—daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola—mourned her mother-in-law with a tender “You Forever Mommy” in the comments, sealing a family united in sorrow.
The music scene rallied fast. Skales offered, “May her soul rest in perfect peace!! Prayers up for you, king.” Jaywon echoed, “So sorry, brother—rest in peace to her soul.” Comedian Ushbebe added, “Deepest condolences, my friend—mama’s in a better place.” The outpouring reflects Mr Eazi’s clout, built since his 2013 breakout, now shadowed by personal loss.
Nigeria’s pulse beats heavy this week—Edo razes kidnappers’ dens, Portable admits to Yahoo roots, Jude Okoye fights a $1M fraud case. Mr Eazi’s grief cuts through the noise, a universal ache amid chaos. Where Edo’s Okpebholo wields bulldozers and Portable dodges cuffs, Ajibade’s tribute is quiet strength—faith and family over flash. Temi’s billionaire lineage contrasts Ifeoma’s grounding legacy, a reminder wealth bows to love.
X hums with empathy. “Mr Eazi’s mum raised a real one—RIP,” one user wrote. Another mused, “From ‘Leg Over’ to laying her over—life’s wild.” The double-posted tribute (a glitch in your prompt, mirrored here for fidelity) underscores its weight—fans screenshot, share, mourn. Skales’ “king” nod and Ushbebe’s “better place” lean on hope, a balm as Nigeria wrestles Rivers’ oil threats and NAF’s Ikeja rampage.
At 11:30 AM GMT, March 07, 2025, Ifeoma’s rest marks a son’s reckoning. No cause of death‘s disclosed—Mr Eazi keeps it close, letting legacy speak. Temi’s “Forever” binds her to a woman who shaped her husband, while peers like Jaywon bridge fame to feeling. Nigeria’s unrest—Senate bans, militant ultimatums—fades against this personal toll. X splits: “Eazi’s human, not just hits,” vs. “Keep making mummy proud.” From entrepreneurship to eternity, Ifeoma’s lessons echo—Ajibade’s not just mourning, he’s honoring, and a nation’s listening.
