Movingly, she shared her conviction that even while Liam is still too young to completely comprehend the scope of his father’s legacy, he will eventually learn to recognize and value the enormous influence Mohbad had on the world.
She expressed her gratitude for the prize on behalf of her son Liam, her husband Adura, their younger sibling, and the entire Imonelization family.
“Even though Mohbad isn’t with us anymore, he lives on,” she continued. I dislike calling him my late husband since, because to our son Liam, he lives on eternally. He might not yet understand the full extent of his father’s magnificence, but I am confident that he will eventually. Headies, thank you so much. I’m grateful that you brought my hubby to light. We appreciate your observance of his legacy and memory. I, his son, and the entire Imonelization find great significance in it.

Mohbad’s music’s enduring impact and the deep affection that still surrounds his legacy were highlighted by Omowunmi’s moving homage.
