Nigerian comedian, Kenny Blaq, has recounted an incident where he had to choose between a stage performance and mourning the sudden demise of his mother.
In an interview on “With Chude,” shared on social media on July 24, 2025, Kenny Blaq noted that he was having a performance when he received the news about his mother’s death.
He explained that even though he was dumbfounded after receiving the news, he still went ahead to finish his job.
“At that point, I have to forget what I heard and finish my job. It was an experience that I would never forget because my mom didn’t see me perform live,” he said.
Kenny Blaq added that even though he didn’t get the opportunity to perform for his mother, he is, however, happy his late mom watched some of his videos.
“I am happy that she got to see a video of me performing. One church gave me a video clip of my performance, and I played it for her to watch.
“I am sure wherever she is, she is still proud of me. I still see her in my twin sister. So, I am not bothered that much,” he added.
