Wunmi, the widow of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has finally spoken out amidst swirling rumors regarding her pregnancy.
The rumors, which started shortly after the singer’s untimely death, have sparked widespread speculation on social media, with many fans and commentators weighing in on the situation.
In a brief statement shared on her social media, Wunmi expressed her gratitude to fans for their continued support but did not directly address the pregnancy rumors.
She emphasized the difficulty of navigating life after Mohbad’s death and asked for privacy during this challenging time. Her message was seen as a plea for understanding as she continues to cope with the immense grief of losing her husband.
Mohbad, a rising star in the Nigerian music scene, passed away under controversial circumstances in September 2023, leading to ongoing investigations and public interest in his personal life. His widow has largely stayed out of the spotlight until now, but recent legal proceedings and media coverage have brought renewed attention to her.
In addition to the rumors, Wunmi has also been involved in legal battles over Mohbad’s estate. A court recently ordered that she be served with a notice regarding a pending DNA test related to her late husband’s son, further intensifying the public scrutiny on her and her family.
As the widow of one of Nigeria’s most beloved new-generation artists, Wunmi’s statement marks a significant moment in the ongoing narrative surrounding Mohbad’s legacy. Fans have continued to show their support for her, with many urging the public to respect her privacy and allow her time to heal from the loss.
