Actress, Genevieve Nnaji has also joined many others in paying tribute to the late legendary singer, actress, author, and activist, Onyeka Onwenu.
Taking to her X handle, Genevieve reminisced on the role she played in her Lionheart role adding that it was a privilege to have shared the same space with her.
She wrote:
Today, we mourn the passing of an icon, a legend whose voice and presence have resonated deeply with us all—Onyeka Onwenu.
I’m better at expressing myself through my art. “LionHeart” was born out of a desire to honor and give flowers to the legends that made my childhood beautiful and memorable, whilst they were still with us.
I am so grateful she accorded me the opportunity, honor, and privilege to share time and space with her. We created iconic moments that will forever be entrenched in my mind and photo memories. My tears won’t stop falling because writing this tribute means I can’t live in delusion for a few more hours.
That this is not a bad dream I will be waking up from. My heart and deepest condolences to her family, loved ones and to her fans all around the world.
Rest in peace, Onyeka Onwenu. Your legacy will never be forgotten. With all my love and respect, Genevieve Nnaji.
