Popular Nigerian Islamic singer, Rukayat Gawat Oyefeso has passed away.

She was well-known for her captivating voice and religious music that resonated with many in the Muslim community.

The news of her death was shared by popular Ilorin based cleric Alfa Aribidesi At-Tawdeeh Islamic Da’awah his official Facebook page on Tuesday morning.

Further details surrounding her death have yet to be fully disclosed.

Her loss is deeply felt among her fans and the broader Islamic music scene – with the news of her death widely shared.

Spyro, the Nigerian singer, has advised men to focus on caring for their partners rather than seeking external attractions.

“Guys tush up your girl, invest in her heavy, love up on her and you will realise she is finer than these girls outside,” he wrote in an Instagram post on Monday.

Sharing personal experience, Spyro recounted admiring certain women before fame, only to realize their allure was superficial upon closer acquaintance.

“There were some girls I admired from afar before stardom but could not get access. I got access now and I realized it was all just a facade,” he continued.

Following the release of his third album ‘Lungu Boy,’ Asake embarked on a world tour where he headlined notable venues including the famous O2 Arena.

Asake wowed fans with a rendition of his hit records at the sold-out concert that also had in attendance Grammy winner Wizkid and actor Idris Elba who presented Asake with a sold-out plaque and a BRIT silver plaque for his album ‘Work Of Art’.

‘Work of Art’ became Asake’s second album to receive a BRIT silver plaque after his debut album, ‘Mr Money With The Vibes,’ which also got a silver certification in the UK.

Asake has enjoyed remarkable success in the United Kingdom where he has logged all of his three LPs atop the UK Apple Music Album Chart thereby making him the only Nigerian artist to achieve this feat.

His recent headline show at the O2 Arena is also a reflection of his popularity in the UK where he has now joined fellow Afrobeats stars Davido and Wizkid as Nigerians who have sold out the O2 Arena more than once.

O2 Arena is a notable venue that has documented Afrobeats’ global rise. Davido made history in 2018 when he became the first Nigerian solo act to headline the O2 Arena. Wizkid also headlined the O2 Arena as a solo act in 2019 before returning to the venue for a historic three consecutive nights in 2021.
