In her tribute, she admitted that the grief carried a particular sting because she was so young when her mother died that she cannot recall a single moment they shared.
She wrote: "17 years without you, Mama. I wish I spent more time with you. It hurts that I can't remember a single memory. Rest well, my angel🕊️💔."

Moladun's Legacy Lives On
The post struck a chord with followers on Twitter, who remembered Moladun fondly as a fixture of Yoruba home video culture. Many offered prayers for the actress, while others directed warm and encouraging words at Adetokunbo herself.

"This woman made our childhood. May she rest in peace."

"May God continue to grant her Aljanat Firdaus with her husband too Baba Suwe."
@Kazeem_AS added:
"May almighty Allah grant Omoladun Kenkelewu Aljanat firdaus. One of my favorites then."
@ajao_janet left an especially moving message for Adetokunbo directly:
"Omo. You will marry right. You will marry well. And you'll be successful. Disadvantages of being the last born is a lot but when you carry on the legacy left behind and choose right. The void will be filled with a lot of great memories 🥰."
Baba Suwe, who was also widely celebrated across Yoruba cinema for decades, passed away in November 2021. Both parents now gone, Adetokunbo's tribute is a reminder of how grief can linger across generations, especially when memories are few and the losses are many.
