Now facing his absence, she continued: “It’s May 7th 2025, and I’m not celebrating you with my different birthday surprises (I doubt I missed any), not with candles and cakes but with tears and memories and a heart that still beats in rhythm with yours.”

She admitted being overwhelmed by emotion: “I had a lot in mind to type, but at this point, words fail me.”

Ending on a note of enduring love and remembrance, she added: “Happy 45th birthday, our daddy in heaven. We carry your love in everything we do. Keep watching over us, Debonair.”

Junior Pope tragically passed away in April 2024, and his passing continues to resonate deeply with fans, colleagues, and loved ones across Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
