Popular Nigeria gospel singer, Dare Melody, has opened up on how his family contributed to the death of his wife, Adedoyin Odunuga nee Odagi.

The Nigerian Voice reported that the singer's wife died on 24th October 2024.

Speaking on Kilarigbo YouTube page, Dare Melody stated that his family frustrated his wife, despite her support for him even when they had nothing. He explained that he used to tell her to put her mind at rest in the midst of his family frustrations.

He said:
“My family frustrated Adedoyin, I will hold her and say, ‘Adedoyin, I am the one you got married to, and whenever you see me, put your mind at rest.

“She was there for me, whether we had food to eat or not. God told me I would release a record in 2010, which became ‘Goodness and Mercy’, and the record revived my career. God used it to open the way for me, and I started building a house.

“A friend called me and said ‘this woman stood by you; let’s build a house for her,’ and I said, ‘everything I have belongs to her.”
