Wunmi Aloba, the widow of late Afrobeat sensation Mohbad (Ilerioluwa Aloba), has poured out her heart in a moving tribute to their son, Liam Light, as he celebrates his second birthday.
Taking to her Instagram story, Wunmi shared an adorable photo of Liam and penned an emotional message filled with love, gratitude, and strength, calling him her “shining star” and a symbol of resilience in the face of grief.
“Happy 2nd birthday to my shining star, Liam Eyinimofeoluwa.
Today is all about you and the joy you bring into my life.
I’m so grateful that I was chosen to be your mother,” she wrote.
Wunmi reflected on the emotional challenges they’ve faced in the past year, especially following Mohbad’s untimely death in September 2023, which triggered national outrage and a still-ongoing investigation.
“We have been through so much together and I’m so proud of the strong and resilient person you’re growing up to be,” she continued. “Here’s to another year of laughter, playtime and making memories together!”
Her post quickly attracted waves of support from fans and celebrities alike, who praised her courage and motherly strength, with many sending warm wishes to little Liam on his special day.
Liam’s birthday stands as a powerful reminder of hope, healing, and legacy, as the world continues to remember Mohbad through his son — a living symbol of the late singer’s light.
Happy Birthday, Liam Light!
