A video of the heart-wrenching moment Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ housemate, Cross Okonkwo, gave a shoutout to late singer Mohbad, unaware of his recent passing, has been shared online.
Recall that the ‘peace’ crooner, Mohbad suddenly passed away on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 and was laid to rest a day later.
His death deeply impacted the nation, with netizens lamenting the dehumanizing treatment he endured before his passing.
Inside the Big Brother Naija house, Cross and his fellow housemates, who were unaware of the events outside, were grooving to Mohbad’s song when Cross gave the singer a shoutout, oblivious to the tragic news.
He repeatedly called the singer’s name as he sang along to his song ‘Ko Po Ke,’ albeit messing up the lyrics.
The video has reopened the wounds of netizens as they continue to mourn the tragic loss of the young and talented musician, who was only 27 years old.
