Veteran Juju singer, King Sunny Ade has shared details on the type of relationship he had with the late Onyeka Onwenu.

Sunny Ade recently paid a condolence visit to Onwenu's family and after his visit, he was interviewed by QEDng and other media outlets.

When asked about his relationship with Onwenu, the singer began, "I can't explain it; you know if they give you the news of the death of a loved one who has to do with your life and also your work."

"She's not just an ordinary woman; she was someone who would sit down with you and she used to say, 'Can I chip in some advice?' and the advice was always correct," he added.

"She used to do more than I did; when it comes to music that people do together, she used to do more. She would tap me and say, 'Sunny, let's take it this way,' and it was always good," he detailed.

Sunny Ade and Onwenu have collaborated on a song, Wait For Me.

Onyeka Onwenu passed on July 30, after slumping, following a live performance at Stella Okoli's birthday. She was 72.
