Veteran Nollywood actor Muyideen Oladapo, widely known as Lala Dapo, has been thrown into mourning following the painful loss of two close family members—his elder sister and his beloved grandmother.
The Yoruba actor took to his Instagram page to share a heartfelt tribute, expressing the deep sorrow he has been battling in recent months. He revealed that he had tried to remain strong, but the overwhelming pain of losing both women within a short time has broken him emotionally.
Lala recounted how May 11, 2024, became one of the darkest days of his life when he received the devastating call announcing the death of his grandmother, whom he referred to as “Alhaja”. He initially thought it was a prank, but after confirming the news, he broke down in tears while praying and immediately travelled to Osogbo to see her one last time.
The actor described how his grandmother had shown him love during his last visit, singing and dancing with joy. He praised her for raising him well, teaching him about business and life from a young age, and said her absence has left a permanent void in his heart.
In the same emotional post, Lala also remembered his elder sister, Fatimah Adenike Oladapo, who died on December 30, 2023, less than five months before his grandmother’s passing. He called Fatimah his “dearest sister” and expressed how unbearable it is to lose both women so close together.
Despite his grief, the actor maintained his faith, stating:
“Who am I to question God? I thank You, Lord, for everything—what You’ve done, what You are doing, and what You will still do in my life. You are all I have.”
He concluded his post with prayers for the souls of both his grandmother and sister to rest in peace.
Fans, friends, and colleagues in the entertainment industry have flooded his comment section with words of comfort and support, praying for strength and healing during this difficult time.
