Singer Niniola announces death of husband
Nigerian afro-house singer Niniola Apata has announced the death of her husband, Michael Ndika.
The Grammy-nominated artiste disclosed the heartbreaking news through a series of emotional posts shared on her Instagram story in the early hours of Wednesday.
Until his death, Michael Ndika was the Chief Executive Officer of NaijaReview, a multimedia platform dedicated to afro-house and contemporary African music.
The singer has yet to reveal the cause of his death.
“God took him,” she wrote in the first post.
“My husband died,” she added in a second.
In a third, she wrote: “God took him. 13 years. 13 f***ing years.”
Each post came with a photo of she and her husband.
The circumstances of the death of her husband were not immediately disclosed as she has always kept her private life away from the public and social media.
Apata, 39, rose to prominence after finishing as a top contestant on Project Fame West Africa in 2013 and has since become one of Nigeria’s most celebrated music exports.
Her 2017 single, Maradona, earned international acclaim, drawing collaborations and recognition from artists including DJ Snake, Drake, Timbaland, and Beyoncé.
