October 15, (THEWILL) – Sunday Adegeye, aka King Sunny Ade, recently clocked 77. Rather than fully rejoice at reaching the milestone, the juju maestro celebrated his birthday with mixed feelings. The birthday coincided with the second anniversary of the death of Princess Ajoke Risikat Adeniyi-Adegeye, one of his wives. It was also about the time he was planning to officially open his mega lounge and clubhouse, The Royal Majesty Place in Lagos. The opening had to be postponed until weeks later.
Joined by family and friends, he held a prayer session in his residence to mark the second anniversary of his late wife, Princess Ajoke’s passing. It was also an occasion to reflect on their lives together as a couple.
The late Princess Ajoke died at the age of 62 on the eve of the music icon’s 75th birthday on September 21, 2021. She was a former member of the Lagos House of Assembly and notable socialite. At the time of her death, KSA described the deceased as his angel and her death as a big loss for him and his family.
