It was sombre weekend for many sympathisers at the wake held in honour of Adedoyin, late wife of gospel singer Dare Melody.
The singer poured out his grief, reflecting on the sorrowful irony of sensing a storm approaching yet never imagined that it would claim his wife’s life.
Speaking through tears, he shared his disbelief and anguish at losing the woman who had been his steadfast partner, his heart heavy with the painful realisation that despite all his foresight, he was powerless to shield her from fate.
In a moving tribute, Dare Melody opened up about the depth of his grief and the irreplaceable presence Adedoyin held in his life. Speaking to family, friends, and fans, the singer reflected on the strength, sincerity, and unwavering support that defined their relationship.
His voice filled with sorrow, he spoke of how he often saw storms in his life, mending the broken pieces for others, but was powerless when the greatest storm took his own wife.
“Adedoyin was a truthful and honest person, someone I trusted completely,” he began, his words weighted by grief. “I try so hard every day to make sure my actions today don’t ruin my tomorrow. She accepted me as I am, despite the challenges that come with being married to a musician. I would tell her, ‘Whatever you hear about me, remember I’m just human.’ She always understood.”
He recalled the countless moments of vulnerability they shared, his wife’s genuine spirit serving as his anchor. He reflected on how Adedoyin never wavered in her loyalty and compassion, traits he admitted he would struggle to find elsewhere. Her love for him and their family was steadfast, no matter the rumours or pressures that came with his career.
The singer explained how he had often felt like a pillar for others, mending fractured relationships and offering comfort to friends and family. But as he faced his greatest trial yet, he realized the cruel irony of being unable to prevent the storm from tearing apart his own home. “I used to mend people’s homes, but when the storm came, I couldn’t fix my own,” he confessed.
He spoke of a lingering sorrow, acknowledging that he had sensed difficult times approaching yet had no way of foreseeing the devastating loss he would face. Watching her leave this world, he was haunted by the realisation that, despite his strength, he could not stop what was meant to be.
He praised Adedoyin’s unshakeable faith and resilience, which he said inspired him to be a better man each day. Her influence, he admitted, extended beyond the walls of their home, serving as a reminder of what it meant to live truthfully and love unconditionally.
“Adedoyin’s honesty was a mirror I looked into every day,” he added, his voice breaking. “I don’t know how to lie, and neither did she. She kept me grounded, and without her, I feel like I’ve lost a part of myself.”
