"I grew up listening to your mum's music. I loved everything about her. Her cheekbones were the most beautiful. As a dark skinned young girl I didn't have alot of people to look up to...there comes the TV and I see the most beautiful woman. Over the years I listened and many times sang to her song "one love". When I was in my 20's I met her coming out of a place in Abuja and I took my chances and approached her, she was lovely. I told her how much I admired her. She was so elegant and poised ...she took time to listen and it made my day. I know words are not enough but I want you to know that your mother will always remain a gem 💎. I hope you are ok and have the love and support of people around you. RIP to the most gorgeous Queen ❤️ Heaven gained a gorgeous Angel."
