Actress Genevieve Nnaji has joined in mourning songwriter, singer and actress Onyeka Onwenu.
On Wednesday, Genevieve took to Instagram Story to share a picture of the late icon.
“Today we mourn the passing of an icon, a legend whose voice and presence have resonated deeply with us all – Onyeka Onwenu,” she began.
Genevieve praised the late singer for letting her share memorable moments with her.
“I am so grateful she accorded me the opportunity, honour, and privilege to share time and space with her. We created iconic moments that will forever be entrenched in my mind and photo memories.
“My tears won’t stop falling because writing this tribute means I can’t live in delusion for a few more hours. This is not a bad dream I will be waking from,” she added.
Onyeka died on Tuesday night after her performance at the 80th birthday party of industrialist Stella Okoli.
The artiste was born in 1952 in Obosi, Anambra State.
