Magixx shared the news on social media, where he paid an emotional tribute to his mother and acknowledged the difficulty of coming to terms with her death.

The singer described the loss as one of the most painful experiences he has ever faced, saying the reality of her passing had yet to fully sink in.

“I have never felt pain like this. Never been this lost. Still processing that this is real,” Magixx wrote.

He went on to describe his mother as a central figure in his life, highlighting the profound bond they shared.

“Can’t believe this happened to you, Mom. You are my reason, my why, my guardian, my twin, my everything,” he said.

Magixx also remembered Esther as a strong woman whose capacity for love and kindness remained evident even while she was dealing with illness.

The tribute offered a glimpse into the personal significance of the relationship beyond the singer’s public career. For Magixx, his mother’s role was not simply that of a parent but of a source of guidance, emotional support and inspiration.

Her death comes as Magixx continues to build his career in Nigeria’s competitive music industry. The singer has previously spoken about his journey into the business and how he was signed to Mavin Records by its founder, Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy.

Since emerging professionally, Magixx has established himself as one of the younger voices associated with Nigeria’s contemporary Afropop and R&B scene, releasing music while developing his identity as a performer.

Away from the spotlight, however, the announcement has shifted attention to a much more intimate chapter of his life as he mourns the woman he described in deeply personal terms.

The singer’s message also reflects the unsettled nature of bereavement, particularly in the early stages of loss, when grief can alternate between disbelief and painful realisation.

For now, Magixx is confronting that loss privately while sharing a small part of his grief with fans and well-wishers who have responded with messages of sympathy.
