BEVERLY HILLS, February 02, (THEWILL) – Popular Nigerian singer, Alariwo, has revealed the significance of his mother over his career.
THEWILL had earlier reported the death of the singer’s mum who died at the age of 74.
Alariwo, speaking with The Punch on Tuesday, stated that his late mum died after she slipped and fell on a staircase.
He said: “My mother was 74 years old when she died. What really happened was that she took a stroll and when she returned home, she slipped on the stairs and fell. By the time they took her to the hospital, it was too late as she had passed on. After some medical investigation, we learnt that her blood pressure and sugar level was quite high.”
According to Alariwo, his mother, when alive, helped his music as she encouraged him to always add proverbs from their native dialect into his songs.
“When it comes to my music, my mother encouraged me in so many ways especially during the early stage of my career. In all my songs, I always speak in my native language and it was my mother that inspired that. She used to send proverbs to me in our native language and I use those proverbs in my song. She advised me to infuse the proverbs in my songs. Even before she died, I was working on a song where I also infused the recent proverbs she sent to me,” Alariwo said.
