Actress Genevieve Nnaji said she shared private space with late singer Onyeka Onwenu and she made a post on X to mourn her tragic departure.
Recalled that the tragic death of the legendary singer, Onyeka Onwenu, hit the internet earlier in the week after she slumped and died in Lagos after a performance.
The actress took to her Instastories to share some moments with the singer.
She wrote:
”Today, we mourn the passing of an icon, a legend whose voice and presence have resonated deeply with us all—Onyeka Onwenu. I’m better at expressing myself through my art.
“LionHeart” was born out of a desire to honor and give flowers to the legends that made my childhood beautiful and memorable, whilst they were still with us.
I am so grateful she accorded me the opportunity, honor and privilege to share time and space with her. We created iconic moments that will forever be entrenched in my mind and photo memories. My tears won’t stop falling because writing this tribute means I can’t live in delusion for a few more hours.
That this is not a bad dream I will be waking up from. My heart and deepest condolences to her family, loved ones and to her fans all around the world. Rest in peace, Onyeka Onwenu . Your legacy will never be forgotten. With all my love and respect, Genevieve Nnaji.”
