The world mourns the death of Reggae singer, Majek Fashek at the age of 57.
Fashek who suffered from drug addiction till his death was married to a woman named Rita.
The couple were married for 30 years before she divorced him in 2015.
They had three children together.
In her last major interview with Punch in 2015, she revealed how she thought they were going to live forever but his drug addiction led to the crash of their marriage.
She revealed his dependency on drugs started after the birth of their second son, Seun.
She soon became the breadwinner of the family when his family abandoned him and even checked into one of the hospitals in New York to help treat his addiction problems.
He responded to treatment but he soon went back to drugs shortly after.
Rita however admitted that Majek Fashek was a good husband and father..
Before the illness, he was a wonderful man. Majek’s heart is a pot of platinum. He is a very kind and loving person. He was a great husband and lover. He cared very much for the children and I. We felt his essence of fatherhood and husband whenever he was sober. Majek did everything for me. He took care of me and treated me like a superstar. These were the days when he was successful and a superstar in Nigeria’s music scene. Whenever he went on music tour of Europe, Majek would buy us boxes of clothes and everything else. Majek was the best husband any woman could ever dream of. He was the best husband to me. He was a charming lover. But his alcoholism and drugs addiction denied us his love, care and humanity.’
She has since remarried but admitted she still loved him.
