Veteran Nigerian singer cum broadcaster, Rotimi Martins, popularly known as Alariwo of Africa has announced the demise of his mother.
The singer broke the tragic news on his Instagram page in the early hours of today.
He penned a tribute to the deceased, whom he described as a caring mother.
In an interview with Punch, Alariwo who has been away from the music scene for a long time, stated that he decided to take a break from music in order to focus on other things.
He admitted that music was no longer his top priority and he was not in a hurry to get back to the recording studio.
“I will go back to music only if God tells me. I am taking my time to decide when to go back to music. I want to wait for the right time to do so. Directives come from the inner mind. When my inner mind directs me to return to the studio, I won’t hesitate to do so,” he said.
