Dare Melody & Late Wife 

By Fasanmi Abiola

Nigerian gospel singer, Dare Melody, has recounted the “ill treatment” his late wife Adedoyin suffered at the hands of his family members.

Adedoyin passed away in October at the age of 47.

During her wake keep, Melody said his family frustrated his wife, causing her significant distress.

The singer praised Adedoyin’s unwavering support, particularly during his career setbacks.

He also recalled how a music promoter had blacklisted him for four years, crippling his career.

The singer said as a token of gratitude for Adedoyin’s loyalty, he built her a house.

“My family frustrated Adedoyin, I will hold her and say, ‘Adedoyin, I am the one you married, and whenever you see me, put your mind at rest.’ She was there for me, whether we had food to eat or not,” he said.

“I remember one day when one promoter who took me out and acted like a human being by saying none of my songs should be played on the radio or printed for almost four years. I could not do anything, but my late wife stood by me.

“When people celebrated the New Year, I ate biscuits with her and our one-year-old daughter. I told the Lord, ‘If truly you are the one who called me, let people know you did.’ God told me I would release a record in 2010, which became ‘Goodness and Mercy’.

“That record revived my career, and people started to recognise me. God opened the way for me, and I began building a house. A friend called me and said, ‘This woman stood by you, let’s build a house for her’, and I said, ‘Everything I have is for her’.
