An unconfirmed report has claimed that Toluige Olokoobi Babalola, the mother of internet sensation Oreofeoluwa, has taken her own life in Benin, Edo state.
It will be recalled that Ore gained popularity in 2020 after a video of him telling his mother to calm down when she was rebuking him went viral.
He was subsequently invited by the Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, secured ambassadorial deals, and even featured in a movie.
Sadly, three years after Ore gained popularity, his mother has reportedly committed suicide for reasons best known to her.
A social media user, who shared the heartbreaking news on the microblogging platform, revealed that she left behind three children for her husband.
