The respected musician recently took to her page on Instagram with a touching tribute to her deceased son as she remembered him again.

Salawa noted that indeed the passing of her son caused a lot of pains in her life and completely changed her life and career as a musician.

She said:

"Hmmm!! Today the 2nd of October makes it 20yrs that you left me. My first son Idris Olanrewaju Adefolajuwon Akanji Adepoju. It still feels like yesterday but it’s 20 years already. Your death caused alot of pains in my life. Lanre, your death changed my life completely, it also affected my career negatively to the extent that people ask me if I am still singing."

The Waka musician, however, gave glory to God for still keeping her alive and appreciated those who have stayed with her through it all.

Salawa prayed for parents out there against losing their children. She also disclosed that her deceased son would have been 37 if he was still alive.
