Aduke Ajayi, the Nigerian gospel singer better known as Aduke Gold, has been laid to rest.
Gold passed away on August 12 at the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Oyo state.
On August 15, Aderounmu, her older brother, revealed that she had succumbed to cervical cancer.
He also announced that her burial would take place at Lagos African church, College Road, Ifako-Ijaiye.
In a now-viral video, four undertakers were seen dancing with her coffin, which was adorned with her name, “ADUKE”, spelled out in flowers.
The footage showed fans and loved ones grieving as her body was lowered into the grave.
Gold ventured into music as far back as the mid-2000s but started to gain traction after the release of ‘Nitori Ogo’ — which means “Because of Glory” — in 2021.
The song which was from the same-titled album earned her massive streams and popularity, especially on social media.
She studied History and International Studies at Lagos State University (LASU).
Gold earned a degree in Child Psychology and a diploma in Montessori Education from the United Kingdom.
She worked with children with special needs such as autism, dyslexia, and cerebral palsy.
Gold battled with vertigo, which caused frequent fainting spells. It was a constant challenge she faced while pursuing her music career.
