Niniola Apata, the Nigerian songstress, has spoken about the influence Michael Ndika, her late husband, had on her music career, describing him as the “engine” behind her success.
The tribute came during a service of songs held on June 4 in honour of Ndika, whose death was announced on May 20.
The circumstances surrounding his passing remain undisclosed. Burial arrangements released last week included the service of songs followed by internment scheduled for Friday.
In a now-viral video from the event, Niniola offered an intimate portrait of a man she said defined her daily existence.
According to the singer, Ndika discovered her before she had found her footing in the industry. She revealed that her late husband “met me raw and made me a superstar”.
“I met him and fell in love with him. We did stuff before I even dropped the first single.
