In a heartfelt post on his X account on Thursday, Wizkid expressed deep emotions in his message, highlighting the void her absence has left in his life.

“Happy birthday love of my life! Miss you everyday. First one without you here feels unreal. Nothing makes sense without you mama! Life is empty without you.

“Continue to watch over us! My heart is broken forever! Love you, love you, love you MORAYO mi. Your smile is all a memory I will never forget. Your laugh! Your hugs and kisses. I miss you dearly!” he wrote.

In addition to his message, the singer shared a video of his mother, captioning the post, “Morayo lives on.”
