Davido, Zlatan Ibile, 30BG crew and friends have all attended the candlelight service of late Habeeb Obama DMW 44, who passed away last week Tuesday due to heart failure caused by breathing difficulties. (Read More Here).
Recall that Habeeb Obama DMW 44 died at Ever-care hospital, Admiralty way, Lekki and it brought about total disbelief from the 30BG crew as they rushed to the hospital to confirm if the report was true. Unfortunately, the report was true.
On July 9, 2021, Obama DMW's candlelight service was held at an event centre at Orange Island, Lekki. Davido, Zlatan Ibile and all 30BG crew attended the ceremony. During the service, Davido couldn't give his speech because he's probably still in shock and emotional.
Zlatan Ibile went up on stage to give a short, but incredible speech about Obama DMW 44. According to Zlatan, he says Obama DMW was a sweet guy and a giver. He (Zlatan) recounted how Obama DMW once gave him N20K to shop for clothes for his upcoming show years back.
In another video, a minute silent was held for him as everyone stood still. In the last video, Davido, Zlatan and others were seen walking with their lit candles for Obama DMW 44's candlelight service.
Yesterday, Davido broke his silence as he took to social media to pen a painful tribute to his road manager, Obama DMW.
He wrote:
"This is by far the hardest thing I’ve had to write.
I am hurt, broken, sad, and lost. For the first time in my life, I am EXTREMELY confused. The pain is one I cannot explain. 44 was more than an elder brother to me, he was a protector. He was someone that literally just always made me smile. He would do absolutely anything to make me smile, no matter the issue or problems I had. His response was always “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to them”, “Don’t worry I’ll sort it out”, “Don’t worry I’ll give them something”. I would never believe in a millions years I will be writing a tribute like this to someone so dear to me this soon. All my life it’s been “David you’re strong, David you’re strong”. 44 I won’t lie to you, this time around, this one WEAK ME!!
I miss you so much 44.
"You became so peaceful. You ound peace and purpose, a true generational influence. I cannot even begin to count the amount of people you helped, artistes you brought to me, people you brought together in nothing but love and brotherhood. Actors, artistes, influencers all. God! 44 I swear you will never be forgotten. Up until now I cannot believe this is real, I don’t even know what I’m writing, I’m just writing. I’m just confused.
This has been such a haunting week for all of us. All of us, me, his family, his son, his daughter, his brothers, his friends, a whole brotherhood; God give us all the strength. This isn’t even about me, it’s about all of us, and all the amazing plans and vision you had.
44 I swear, I will not let a single one of your visions die.
"It is hard getting by without you, my backbone is truly gone but I won’t stop making you proud. I promise to continue to take this thing we started together, to the ends of the earth. I promise to continue dominating the world.
And to Malik, even though you are taller than me, you are basically my son. Doing so well in school, passing with flying colours. I have to be strong for you, and you have to be strong for the family, your mom and your grand mom. Everything 44 wanted to do for you, we will finish it together.
44 MY FRIEND. May God accept you to His kingdom. I Love You."
