Queen Salawa Abeni, a veteran waka singer, paid an emotional tribute to her late son, Idris Olanrewaju Adefolajuwon Akanji, who died 20 years ago, via her Instagram page.

The death of her son affected her a great lot, according to the talented singer, and almost destroyed her career.

Sharing a photo of her late son, the singer wrote;

“Hmmm!! Today the 2nd of October makes it 20yrs that you left me. My first son Idris Olanrewaju Adefolajuwon Akanji Adepoju. It still feels like yesterday but it’s 20 years already.

Your death caused alot of pains in my life. Lanre, your death changed my life completely, it also affected my career negatively to the extend that people ask me if I am still singing. But all the same I thank almighty Allah for strength and the grace to continue living. And everyone that stood by me since that time till now.

I use this opportunity to pray for all the parents out there “ENI RI IKU OMO NI AGBARA OLOHUN O” and to the ones that have experienced it, “IDUNNU TON BORI IBANUJE NI OLOHUN ASE FUN GBOGBO WA” Aameen.

You would’ve been 37 years old this year. I miss you, your siblings miss you, and we all love you very much but Allah loves you most. Till we meet again. Continue to rest in the Lord’s blossom. Alhaja Salawa Abeni, MOTHER.”
