This is not the best of times for popular Nigerian music artiste, Burnaboy. This is because the singer recently lost one of his biggest fans to the cold hands of death.

He took to his Instagram page to make the announcement to his teeming followers and paid a touching tribute to the young woman named Anita.

He shared some of her photos and wrote; 'I've lost my biggest fan Anita Chekwas and honestly I've seen the worst things there are to see in this world and I've endured the worst type of pains in my lifetime but never in my life have I felt more of a failure than I feel today.

“This girl has had my back since I started this career and as much as I appreciate her and everyone like her, I have not done a very good job showing it and making them feel the true love I have for them. Here I find myself wishing that I could have reached out somehow, I should have followed her on every social media platform, I should have given her shout outs or even gifts on her birthday, I should have been there for her as she has always been there for me, who knows if that could have made things different or at least made her that much Happier.

“I know her beautiful soul is up there with my brother Gambo watching over me. I apologize to every fan that has ever felt unappreciated and every true fan that I haven't been able to find or reach out to and from now on, I will do everything I can to make my true fans and supporters feel as loved and appreciated as I truly feel for them from the depths of my soul. RIP Anita.”
