Big Brother Naija reality star Kiddwaya has cancelled his birthday celebration in honour of Chizi Wigwe, son of the late group chief executive officer of Access Holdings Plc Herbert Wigwe.
Chizi Wigwe died in a helicopter crash on February 9 in the United States alongside his father and mother, businessman Abimbola Ogunbanjo, and two crew members.
Kiddwaya who clocks 30 on March 5 announced in an Instagram post on Tuesday that he will not be celebrating his birthday due to the loss of his friend.
“Today is my birthday but today is also the day a good friend of mine is getting buried so out of respect I will not be celebrating,” he wrote.
Kiddwaya’s decision to forgo his birthday celebration was applauded by fellow reality stars such as Doyin, Uriel Oputa and Lucy Edet.
