Nigerian singer and songwriter, Seyi Shay, has revealed how the passing of legendary musician Sound Sultan left a lasting impact on her life and music career.
In a recent interview, the singer described Sound Sultan as more than just a colleague, calling him a mentor, best friend, and father figure. She explained that his sudden death in 2021 shook her deeply and made her lose interest in pursuing music at the time.
“Sound Sultan’s death really affected me. He was my everything in the industry. When he passed, I just didn’t have the zeal for music anymore,” she confessed.
The award-winning artist added that her grief coincided with a major transition in her personal life. She was pregnant with her daughter and simultaneously navigating the challenges of motherhood and a highly demanding entertainment industry.
