She emphasised that her relationship with Destiny Boy was filled with peace and joy, and that she always offered prayers whenever she spoke to him.
Saidat added that her son constantly reassured her to remain calm and not worry, which made the allegations even more hurtful.
She appealed to Nigerians and mothers to come to her rescue, saying she was being unfairly accused.
She said:
“All Nigerians, all mothers, please come to my rescue. They’re trying to make me suffer over something I know nothing about. I don’t know who said I’m raining curses on my son. My son that has been my peace and joy, making me happy, there is no time I call him that I don’t pray for him. I never cursed him. He always tells me to put my mind at rest. So anyone who brought up this scandal saying I rained curses on my son, I pray by God’s grace the person goes through what I am going through right now.”
Adeshina’s statement comes as the family continues to mourn the young singer, while also battling the spread of damaging claims online.
