It is with a heavy heart that I write to extend my deepest condolences to you, my dear brother, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, K1 De Ultimate, on the passing of your beloved mother, Alhaja Halima Shadiya Anifowoshe. Her departure at the remarkable age of 105 marks the end of a glorious era, and her memory will forever be etched in the hearts of all who knew her.
Mama was more than just a mother; she was a pillar of strength, wisdom, and love.
She was a woman of great grace and resilience, whose influence shaped not only your life but also the legacy you have built as an icon of Fuji music. Her role in your journey cannot be overstated. Behind the brilliance of K1 De Ultimate stood a mother who nurtured, encouraged, and inspired him to soar to great heights.
Her longevity is a testament to the blessings she carried, and her life was an example of God’s grace. She lived to see you flourish and touch lives globally, a source of pride for her and for all who knew her. This is not just your loss, but a loss to the entire Yoruba community and beyond.
At this time of grief, I want to assure you that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Losing a mother, no matter her age, leaves a void that words cannot fill. But I encourage you to take solace in the beautiful memories you shared and the legacy she left behind. Her spirit lives on in you and the values she instilled in you.
Please know that as you go through this painful chapter, you are not alone. The entire Nigerian and global music community stands with you, mourning Mama’s passing and celebrating the extraordinary life she lived.
May Allah grant Alhaja Halima Shadiya Anifowoshe eternal rest in Al Jannah Firdaus and give you and the family the strength to bear this irreparable loss.
