Instead of reacting angrily, Judith said Ifunanya listened quietly, responded gently, and even apologised for how she felt.

“I remember being upset with you once and I had to tell you about it. You kept quiet and listened to me. Your reply melted me. At the end, it was a misunderstanding, and you still hugged and said sorry for the way I felt,” she wrote on a Facebook post.

Judith described the late singer as someone who never reacted harshly and always treated people with respect. She said Ifunanya constantly encouraged her musically and even offered to lend her a guitar to help her learn an instrument.
