Kiddwaya has announced that he will not be hosting a birthday celebration today, March 5, 2024, despite it being his special day for him.
This decision follows the recent tragic death of his close friend, Chizi Wigwe.
Chizi, the son of Nigerian billionaire Herbert Wigwe, lost his life in a helicopter crash last month alongside his father, mother, Doreen Wigwe, and former Nigerian Stock Exchange president, Abimbola Ogunbanjo.
In an an emotional message, Kiddwaya expressed that while today marks his birthday, it is also the day of Chizi’s funeral.
In light of this, he has chosen to refrain from any festivities out of respect for his late friend.
“Today is my birthday but today is also the day a good friend of mine is getting buried so out of respect I will not be celebrating.
“I have made the decision to forgo celebrating my birthday today. Instead, I chose to honour Chizi’s memory and the impact he had on each of us”.
