Farida Fasasi, the wife of the late Nigerian musician Olanrewaju Abdul-Ganiu Fasasi, popularly known as Sound Sultan, has expressed her heartfelt emotions and memories in a message dedicated to her husband.
Sound Sultan sadly passed away in July 2021 after a battle with throat cancer in the United States of America.
In commemoration of the second year since his passing, Farida Fasasi took to social media to honor his memory. In an Instagram post, she wrote, “Today, I choose to celebrate you and honor your legacy. I choose to remember you in a good way. Omo iseyin, the one that loves his culture so much. My tall dark skinned Iseyin man.”
She fondly recalled the endearing nickname he used for her, “Aboo.” Farida expressed how much their three beautiful children miss him and how vividly they remember everything about him, remarking on the bittersweet way they speak of him as if he is still present.
Farida also acknowledged the unwavering support from Sound Sultan’s siblings, who do their best to ensure that his absence is not felt too strongly in their lives, as they, too, carry the weight of missing him every day.
