Fatshimetrie, the leading online newspaper, is deeply saddened by the passing of Modupe Temitope Dada, an iconic figure in the African entertainment industry. Her passing leaves a huge void in her family, loved ones and the artistic community.
Modupe Dada, affectionately known as Dupsy or Mama Africa, dedicated her life to promoting family values, community service and inclusiveness. Her passion for God and Africa deeply affected all those who were fortunate enough to know her.
Her husband, Mike Dada, Executive Producer and Chairman of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA), paid a moving tribute to his late wife, highlighting her kindness, compassion and boundless dedication. Her passing leaves an immeasurable void that cannot be filled.
Modupe Dada’s funeral has been announced, including a Carol Service on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, followed by a farewell ceremony the following day at Grace Assembly Church, Lagos. AFRIMA invites those who wish to follow the farewell ceremony live on its platforms.
Modupe Dada, also the Vice President of AFRIMA and an accomplished banking executive, leaves behind her husband, children, siblings and many close relatives. She will be remembered for her infinite love, dedication and compassion towards Africa and its people.
The Fatshimetrie team extends its deepest condolences to the Dada family and expresses its solidarity in these difficult times. The African art community has lost a true icon, but Modupe Dada’s legacy will live on through the lives she touched and the hearts she moved.
In these moments of sorrow and contemplation, may his soul rest in peace, leaving behind an example of kindness and altruism for all those who had the privilege of crossing his path.
