Though the cause of death is not immediately known, he took to Instagram to announce the news.

Attached to his emotional message was a soundtrack in which his mum offered prayers and asked God’s blessings upon his life.

I don’t know why so many good people I love are leaving but I just hold on to the thought that God is God and he knows what he is doing. It is well. I just thank Him that she lived a full life and is done with the troubles of this world. Rest well, Mummy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🕊
